Maren Hassinger: Women's Work, 2006 and Senga Nengudi: RSVP, 1976-77
Maren Hassinger first performed Women's Work in 2006 at the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, Paris. Newspaper in hand, Hassinger and her performers will present to the audience a repetitive action that alludes to sewing, knitting, and other craft-based activities that are traditionally labeled women's work. These communal gestures will then be amplified using microphones and speakers, transforming the simple actions into a cacophonous sound work.
Hassinger will also activate Senga Nengudi's work from the well-known 197577 series RSVP. Nengudi will create an installation out of common nylon stockings, stretching them into a poetic sculptural form. In activating the work, Hassinger will move through it, pulling, stretching, and knotting the nylon and, in doing so, highlighting the muscular forces of the body itself.
