Untitled (Go-Go Dancing Platform) by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, 1991

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

Parameters for the dancer (should a dancer be part of an installation of the work): ● The dancer may choose to appear on the platform not more than once a day, for a limited duration (approximately five minutes). ● The dancer appears at an undisclosed and unpublicized time, determined solely by the dancer.1

● The dancer’s choice of when to appear is not contingent on the presence of other people in the space. ● The dancer wears a personal listening device. The dancer listens to music of their own choosing, audible only to the dancer. ● The dancer is intended to have no direct engagement with or acknowledgement of any individuals who may be present in the space while entering, exiting, or on the platform.2 ● While the dancer is characterized as a go-go dancer, the dancer is not performing for others nor influenced by any individuals that may be in the space.3 ● The dancer wears a silver lamé bikini or briefs, and sneakers.

The Foundation maintains, builds, and facilitates knowledge around the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, with a commitment to maintaining space

Second artfight this year for the wonderful Nemomo / @nemomo who I had the pleasure of working with on a fanzine a few years ago! Loved this mantis-looking design, and have been curious about this set of characters since learning about their story through the comic

[marindalois]

Finally taking some time this month to do a bit of Artfight!

This one is for symboslug whose archeologically-inspired characters are so wonderful I had to draw at least one of them.
