4th BODY

hybrid performance exhibition

A hybrid form that experiments with new ways of performance inhabiting art spaces. The exhibition is composed of assemblies of ephemera, sound, video, paper and human interaction deployed through performative forms such as migrating choirs, anthems, and moving sculptures, striving to rethink performance in museums as a creative experience for surprise response and shifting forms. 
In dialogue with Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia’s main galleries, Lauri Stallings, sculptors Paper-Cut-Project, and the glo team fill the museum and spiraling staircases with Phase II of gestures that soon will disappear, originally a public work (July 2014) that embodies the poles of Stallings’ practice: participation and public choreographies. The work begins the moment people encounter it, and is presented continuously during the operating hours of the museum, persisting over time, to produce meaning and value through action, rather than objects.
