Staircase Sonambulism. Performance. 2011. Performed by Jaimie Henthorn, Elizabeth LeBlanc, and Andrew Nast
STAIRCASE SONAMBULISM
The Denver Art Museum annex by architect Daniel Liebskind has been criticized as vertigo-inducing with its slanted walls and its twisting, jagged staircase. This intervention embodies the live movement and sound of the Cabinet of Dr Caligari, relating an older avant garde film to contemporary avant garde architecture.
This movement intervention was performed live for a Denver Art Museum Untitled event. The two dancers and percussionist ascended the annex staircase repeatedly throughout the evening.
