The Mountain
The Mountain is the result of several years of investigations into the plausibility of attaining utopic space, allegorically, metaphorically, politically, spiritually, and personally. I presented a dining room sized mountain, maybe what someone (who?) would call a “domestic mountain” at the home of Elana Adler & Danny Floyd. The Mountain spoke through the voices of 50 individuals performing Kurt Schwitters’ 1919 work, “Class Opera Struggle,” a vocal pirouette of ups and downs. A takeaway puzzle book was available in a small edition to supplement/further mystify/demystify this whole thing.
