TUESDAY, MARCH 24TH 7PM SCREENING
CHERYL DONEGAN - STOP ME IF YOU THINK YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE
(21 mins. Based on Andy Warhol’s film, ‘Nude Restraint’, 1967).
“I am fascinated with Viva's monologue in this film. I think I talk too
much, especially when I am nervous. The art world makes me nervous. I'm
not an actress and I wasn't sure what to say so Viva’s monologue seemed
perfect. Warhol said her voice was the most mesmerizing and grating he had
ever heard. So I cast myself as Viva, and my 9-year-old son as Taylor
Mead. It's just Mom in the kitchen, serving up a hot dish of cool
leftovers.”
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25TH 11AM – 8PM

JACOB ROBICHAUX – INVITATIONAL PERFORMANCES
During his solo show at Museum 52 in 2008 Jacob, whose interest in
performance is shaped by his childhood experiences as an amateur magician,
invited friends and artists to perform with one of the four floor-based
sculptures in the show. Participants randomly selected a sculpture with
which they were to perform. Jacob invited others to explore his materials
and objects with the same compulsive drive to continually generate meaning
through activity and play. His invitational at Museum 52 will follow
similar lines of activity.
