2. “To invent on the spot” at MoMA
Dancers have been popping up in museums more and more lately, but this is a new–or rather, old–twist on the museum performance. Created in 1972 by Italian artist Jannis Kounellis, “Da Inentare sul Posto,” or “To invent on the spot,” places a violinist and ballet dancer in front of a painted canvas to improvise together, creating a work of art that constantly changes and evolves. This dance between ballerina, musician, and painting (as well as museum-goers) will occur over 40 times in the course of the exhibition for its patron, “Ileana Sonnabend: Ambassador for the New,” and it promises to be new each time.
MoMA. Now through April 19, 2014: Thursdays at 11, Fridays at 3, Saturdays at 1. Ballet dancers from the Brooklyn Ballet.
