SATURDAY APRIL 14:
ROB ANDREWS PRESENTS:
Grace Exhibition Space is thrilled to be hosting Rob Andrews in Void Cowl! A pre-apocalyptic action, avoiding our worlds' inevitable end
Saturday: Rob Andrews
I will chop wood in the space until my body no longer functions. Next to me a cellist will play until her body gives out
I will bring about a hundred logs into the space to chop, I anticipate the action will take between two and four hours. After one of us can no longer work, he/she will lay down. Then the other will lay down as well, and the lights will dim and fade to black.
Rob Andrews lives and works in Brooklyn. He has shown work at the Museum of Modern Art, Exit Art, Grace Exhibition Space, and is represented by English Kills Art Gallery.
