Alumna Leticia Gutierrez ('14) will be performing (as member of the MoMA Staff) in Jerome Bel's work on October 27-31.
"Through an open call, MoMA Dance Company brings together MoMA staff members from different departments who will perform during public hours in the Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium. Based on the guiding principles of solo and group performances, MoMA Dance Company subverts both the idea of a dance company and the typical focus of Artist’s Choice installations on objects. The project explores the social potential of dance to create ephemeral communities through joint movement, and it reveals the pre-existing, but usually less visible, community of MoMA’s staff. Bringing together senior and junior staff from different departments at the Museum, Bel temporarily suspends usual workplace hierarchies, and the performers embody the tension between work, play, and performance". moma.org
