MA Hosts Oliver Herring's AREAS FOR ACTION Performance on October 1
The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) today announced that visitors to the museum on Saturday, October 1 will have the rare opportunity to see a performance of one of Oliver Herring's Areas for Action performances directed by the artist.
When the BMA opens at 11 a.m., four volunteers will begin spitting coloRed Food dye onto three walls of a gallery adjacent to the BMA's East Lobby, creating a vibrant backdrop for a new installation of Herring's work that will be on view beginning Saturday, October 22. The playful, but physically demanding performance is expected to take several hours to provide the audience with a visceral understanding of the profound commitment of time and effort involved in artistic experimentation.
"I am excited to welcome artist Oliver Herring to Baltimore for this live performance of Areas for Action," said BMA Dorothy Wagner Wallis Director Christopher Bedford. "This extraordinary experience invites visitors to connect with artists and be a part of the creative process in a way that is seldom found in larger museums. I look forward to bringing more of these kinds of experiences to the BMA."
