ROBERT MORRIS "SITE" 1964

Action Performance "SITE" de Robert Morris et Carolee Schneemann au Dance Theater, de New York.

Throughout his artistic career Robert Morris helped define a variety of performative paradigms, from instruction-based fabrications to re-configurable installations and earthworks. In his work with the Judson Dance Theater, Morris scripted performances wherein performers follow a choreographed sequence of actions using costumes and props specified by the artist. Although the format of his performance Site is conventional, the action is anything but. The sound of a jackhammer emanates from a white box at downstage left while a masked man wearing work boots dismantles a plywood construction to reveal a woman lying motionless on a sofa in the manner of Manet's Olympia. After a series of manipulations of one of the plywood boards with his body, the man re-covers the woman and the stage goes dark.
