Deville Cohen - MIDNIGHT

Zero to 120 MPH in less than four seconds. A few seconds later, you're 420 feet in the air. In the race for pure adrenaline thrills, nothing compares to MIDNIGHT, Deville Cohen's high-horsepower shot from the sky.

From a standing start, you're launched on a roller-coaster made from enlarged Xerox reproductions, projections and everyday objects. The ride twists and plunges along a disorienting path drawn from "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions," the 1884 satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott about a two-dimensional square encountering the third dimension for the first time. This ride may be over in 30 minutes, but it'll stay with you forever. Admission is free with a donation suggested at the door.

Deville Cohen's residency is part of The Performing Garage Presents, The Wooster Group's forum for new art and artists.
