Laughter > Pace Investigations No. 4

Pace Investigations No.4 is a fifteen-day performance and residual installation. Each day, the same performance is repeated and either LOSES or RECOVERS TIME. As this occurs, the ACTIONS that make up the performance must shift. Some actions become UNRECOGNIZABLE from previous days. Some MERGE to become a different action all together. Some actions are ABANDONED, while others increasingly GAIN significance. Pace Investigations No.4 is asking how one COPES with acceleration and deceleration while ENDURING institutional mediation, SHARED SPACE, and OTHER external forces. The time structure is RIGID but the performance itself creates a site where AMBIGUITY is protected. The work is SITE-SENSITIVE and functions as a corporeal ARCHIVE of the context TRANSMITTED through a singular BODY. This is an EXERCISE in identifying what is essential in the moment. This is an exercise that exposes the vulnerability of the human body by revealing its complex relationship to time.
