would be interesting to have a minimal dance/movement performance take place in the room with this sculpture by Marisa Merz. In general, an idea would be to schedule some performances that integrate - in some ways respond to - the art in the show......

Eden-
I saw on the event page that Attack Theatre is going to develop a dance performance responding to the art. You may want to check it out. It sounds pretty cool. The way I understand it, the performance will morph over the duration of the show.

Hands-down one of the most important sculptures of the 20th Century, Ms. Merz’s Untitled (Living Sculpture) (1966) foreshadows Eva Hesse’s web clouds, the proto-feminist anti-heroic attitude, arte povera (ca. 1967), post-minimal formlessness, open systems, and the more recent “unmonumental” trend.
