Choreographer and performer Mercedes Searer collaborates with minimalist sculptor Roland Gebhardt, presenting, during the second week of PERFORMA19 @ WhiteBox Harlem, Selfdom, a “Masked project in-process” related to identity responding to WhiteBox’s 1903 FireHouse minimal architectural qualities, injecting over it a “touch of Bauhaus” referencing in particular Oskar Schlemmer’s great work in mask making, a forte in the work of Mr. Gebhardt’s oeuvre.
