Susan Josephs reporting for Culture Monster, The LA Times Arts Blog, posted the following on Saturday:
Titled “Barely There” and inspired by the artist Fred Sandback’s yarn and string-derived minimalist sculptures, the work features dancers Marissa Labog and Roberto Lambaren interacting with the gallery environment designed by Judit Fekete and Zoltan Pali.
“We’ll be breathing life into the installation,” says Duckler, noting that the dancers will be moving nonstop for the two-hour performance.
Over the years, Duckler has undertaken kinetic and artistic investigations of churches, synagogues, schools, swimming pools, schools, libraries, jails and laundromats in addition to excavating the spirits of historic locations such as the former Ambassador Hotel and the Herald Examiner
“I always start each project with a concept, but otherwise nothing is pre-conceived,” she says. “My dancers and I always start by mapping out the space and playing with the architecture. With every location, there are so many textures and layers, and it’s all about exploring the possibilities.”
