About the Work
A kinetic installation and performance piece, Anthem presents an evolving narrative through a choreographed painting rotation with performance by The Foundry dancers and music by DJ B-Love. Invisible Cities, a group of eight "white" paintings on canvas, physically changes, painting by painting, into Red Music Blue Morning, a series of eight "red" and "blue" paintings on stitched fabric compositions. The audience inhabits a space that changes from white to color, silence to sound, stillness to movement, personal to collective. The Boathouse Gallery, produced by Rebecca Castonguay and Annie Vought, San Francisco, CA 2002.
"The inferno of the living is not something that will be... it is what is already here... the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance...seek and learn to recognize who and what are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space." Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
