Memorandum of Understanding: Your Butt Is Covered
Premiered at Meridian Gallery, San Francisco January 2011.
Memorandum of Understanding:
Your Butt is Covered
A site-specific evening-length piece commissioned by the
Meridian Gallery in San Francisco, Memorandum of Understanding
engaged with the gallery's exhibition Speak, Memory across three
floors of the Meridian, a former Victorian mansion. In response to the exhibition's
central themes of testimony, collective memory, and private acts, four performers
guide audience through the site in a series of visually potent and humorous
encounters, each uncanny in their familiarity as cinematic tableaux. Galasso’s
quintessential manipulation of light factors significantly into the work,
illuminating the performance and the artwork on display in ways unexpected
and exciting.
