THE MOON

January - February 2017
Smack Mellon
Brooklyn, NY

Handmade Cast Paper Installation
35FT x 65FT x 30FT

The Moon began as a a text written in the summer of 2014 and published as a 120-page book with the exhibition at Smack Mellon. Themes include environmental devastation, the AIDS epidemic, and queer collectivist anarchism. During the exhibition, The Moon lived as a massive sculpture, the site for readings from the original text, and the context for a series of dance performances in collaboration with choreographers Jon Kinzel, Abigail Levine and Danny Dolan. Together, the sculpture, text, and performances form a complete constellation. These images include Etienne Frossard's installation photos and the artist's images of Danny Dolan's performance New Moon, a three-hour choreography created with the artist that culminated with Danny and dancers Aaron Mattocks and Patrick Andrews peeling the moon apart.
