Phantom Galleries LA Presents: The
Long Weekend
Installations & Performances
Friday, March 28, Saturday March 29, Sunday
March 30 7 to 10 pm
680 E. Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena
Organized by Nancy Buchanan & Joseph
Santarromana
Examining themes of fashion and consumption,
The Long Weekend presents durational
performances and installation works in the
former Homestead Furniture store's windows.
Questions regarding the relationship of art
and commerce today are myriad, and while
there are no simple answers, most observers
agree that there are many troubling
implications of the influences of
speculation, branding and celebrity on the
current climate. Giving away the aesthetic
experience through such a temporary event is
a return to earlier, more idealistic times;
placing the work within a shopping district
anchors it to the realistic present. Artists
include: Jordan Biren & Corrina Peipon Nancy
Buchanan Ashley McLean Emenegger -"Judgment
Day" MaryLinda Moss & Nikii Henry Danial
Nord Cielo Pessione & John O'Brien Astra
Price Natasa Prosenc Joseph Santarromana &
William Roper Evelyn Serrano Suzanne Siegel
Kyungmi Shin & Todd Gray
Friday 7-10 Mary Linda Moss
collaborates with Nikii Henry, Elayssa,
SuperKate and to create a Performative
Installation. Through the evening figures
moving through space will leave an imprint,
a record of the presence of the body in the
world. Using gauze and plaster, 'clothing"
will be formed on the body. As the body
moves on, it's image is left behind to
create a record of the journey through time
and space
