Description Are we all just doing a dance in a box?
Event

By “into it,” I mean not into the box – the audience stayed outside it – but into the Museum of Human Achievement, which housed the room-sized box of bare lumber, which we were led to by a trail of Oriental rugs and the sound of a vacuum cleaner. The white curtains were drawn at the pair of corner windows, so we peered in to see Oliver and Capareda surrounded on all five interior surfaces by regal-red carpet, which they meticulously picked lint off of. They prepared by changing out of one set of identical yellow sweatsuits into another. This was the last of Wednesday’s series of several 20-minute performances, and the previously worn sweatsuits were strewn about the room.
