Entrevidas

Thursday, September 14, 2017

7pm

MOCA Grand Avenue

FREE

Originally performed by Maiolino in 1981, Entrevidas is a literal manifestation of the expression “to walk on eggshells.” The artist covered the ground with dozens of chicken eggs, scattering them in the street, which she then had to navigate.

Maiolino will re-perform Entrevidas on Thursday, September 14, 2017 at 7pm.

The work will be performed again by Artemisa Clark in Sunday, November 5, at 3pm.

Solitário ou Paciência (Solitaire or Patience)

Created by Maiolino as the centerpiece of a 1976 exhibition, Solitário ou Paciência (Solitaire or Patience) was a performance in which the artist sat silently at a table playing the game of solitaire. Maiolino’s version of this classic card game was anomalous in that her deck remained purposefully incomplete, making the game impossible to win and turning a quintessential pastime into an embodiment of personal and political stasis. The work will be re-performed by Rebeca Hernandez on the occasion of the exhibition.

Solitário ou Paciência (Solitaire or Patience) will be performed again on Sunday, November 5, 2017 at 3pm.
