Baldanders

This is the second in an ongoing series of performances in which artist, educator, and writer Andrew Woolbright considers the format of interview as a form of sculpture. The series' title, Baldanders, references a German mythical figure, Baldanders, who changes its physical form the longer a conversation continues. Woolbright’s multimedia performance involves prosthetics, video, and sculpture that shifts the conversants into new forms over the course of their conversations, inviting painter Angela Dufresne and sculptor Andrew Ross. On going throughout the installation, Woolbright independently is spending wthree days in the gallery in prosthetics and makeup making alla prima LARP portraits of visitors. As William Blake, as Francis Picabia, and as Bam Margera. Each day of marathon painting will take the often romanticized and sincere notions of portraiture into the language of durational performance, irony, and LARP.
