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.

video, installation, performance
‘After Pop Life’ exhibition

Purified with holy water from Lake Minnetonka, the Minnesota Street Project Media Gallery was temporarily rechristened as a place of worship for the music of Prince Rogers Nelson.

The Chapel hosted daily Hours of Contemplation, featuringĀ a selection of Wofford’s karaoke videos. Special Services were also held certain afternoons and evenings, when the Karaoke Hymnal was opened to the faithful to choose and perform their songs of devotion.

The Chapel was part of the After Pop Life exhibition curated by Glen Helfand.
