NO HOPE FOR TOMORROW will exist as a makeshift site for mourning and contemplation: colorful salt-dough wreaths will join the space as unlit salt-dough candelabras remain scattered across the floor. The props and a music stand holding the script from the performance will also be on view. Artist books will remain available in the gallery throughout the exhibition.

Performance during the exhibition opening

Friday, September 5 at 18:30.

Colorful salt-dough candelabras light the cave floor. A tall ladder, a work light, and a piece of chalk tied to the end of a long stick set the stage for an ode delivered in three parts:

I.) THERE IS NO HOPE FOR TOMORROW
II.) THE WATER ALWAYS FOUND WHICH WAY TO GO
III.) AND THE ORCHESTRA PLAYED UNTIL THE VERY END

Hot drinks, seating, and blankets will be provided.
Artist books will be available for purchase after the performance.
