B3W Performance Group's Spin Art (Trailer)

Date: November 22nd, 2014
Duration: 2m:47s

Spin Art involves a 30’ X 30’ Plexiglas cube with an audience surrounding the cube. Four performers inside the cube have tubes attached to their bodies that spray paint when they fling their limbs. As the performers build momentum through spiraling and flinging movement sequences, the glass slowly becomes covered with paint and the performers disappear from view. Once the performance is complete, audience members can enter the cube as they would a gallery where the walls, ceiling and floor have become the canvases. The cube structure could remain up for days or months as a public art piece. The Cube version was awarded a Queens Council on the Arts Grant and premiered in Queens in 2014.
