"Art should be experienced in a place that allows staying"
From now through October 6, 2010 at the Marina Abramovic Institute West, Israeli couple Lital Dotan and Eyal Perry will be creating their "Glasshouse Project" for San Francisco. "Glasshouse" is at one and the same time a dynamic installation and the Tel Aviv home of the two artists; an interactive and living exhibition, with works present throughout the entire home: in the kitchen, living-room, bathroom, and perhaps most importantly in their bedroom and between their sheets. During their three month residency, Lital and Eyal will be creating a new, San Francisco Glasshouse from scratch on the 7500 square foot ground floor of MAI West.
Due to the size and non-domestic nature of the Institute's facilities, the two will be especially challenged to create "a place that allows staying, " and have already begun with their drastic transformation of the exhibition space. Their closet has been exploded: pieces of clothing are suspended individually throughout the space on fishing line. Throughout this field of clothing are the remnants of Lital’s daily morning performance, in which the artist begins with a large piece of cloth and masterfully cuts, drapes and ties to create the socially necessary covering for the rest of her public day. Their living, art production and performances will be open to public viewing (through the internet at www.marinaabramovicinstitute.org) just as it is in Tel Aviv: 24 hours a day. In addition to performances during gallery hours Wednesday through Saturday 12-6p, special performance dates are July 17, July, 29, August 5, August 14, September 2, September 3, and more TBD.
