2 hour performance/action with fake rocks and photocopies
With Megan Badilla

Putting the rocks in Xerox: a super-sized session of ‘Rocks Papers Scissors’ involving lightweight fake rocks, a photocopier, drawings and other props to blur the lines between 2D and 3D, between permanent form and ephemeral practice. Rocks were hand-made from chickenwire, papier-mache and other materials.

Taking the form of a 1989 regional TV Dance Party, Klub Rupturre!! was a multimedia installation that incorporates painting, performance, video, installation, with an a late 80s palette and soundtrack. In the video, a creepy hostess introduces each song as dancers work their way through a top ten countdown leading up to the moment of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The installation was the set for the video as well as the venue for public events, including a live dance party.

2 minute edit of the 45 minute video here.

This project took place during the 30th anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that profoundly reshaped much of the culture of the Bay Area, in a year of great significance globally.

Klub Rupturre!! was funded by an SFAC Individual Artist Commission Grant.
