Flux Projects is returning to Decatur – this time in the form of Momentary Performances, a series of 8 different choreographed performances that take place in 8 different locations. Over the month of October, each performance will occur 4 times.
Decatur is one of the 8 locations and the first performance occured last Tuesday from 4:15-4:30 on the MARTA Plaza. These vinyl letters placed on the base of one of the lights describe the Momentary Performance and if anyone saw a woman with a gallon of milk sitting quietly listening to Abba while a car was honking in the background, you experienced the performance.
According to Flux Projects Executive Director Anne Dennington, Momentary Performances stems from artist Lee Walton’s interest in the subtle, everyday actions of public life. Through the simple use of vinyl text installed in public space, everyday actions are formalized, thus taking on a new life. Everyday occurrences become celebrated events and blur the line between real-life and theater.
Come on out for the next three Tuesdays and experience the “action” – you will find the woman perched on the edge of this light.
