Counting

A durational duo performance with visual artist Bodil Fox to perform Counting, an artwork in memory of the 40,290 women who died of breast cancer in the United States in 2015. Bodil started the work this year celebrating each woman’s life with beautiful warm-colored sewing threads slowly wound around a piece of wood, one full turn for one woman. We expect to make 20,000 turns during this 8-hour performance, and we realize we might not.

The artwork will be finished when 40,290 turns have been completed.
This performance is part of Artists’ Television Access’ Almost Public/Semi-Exposed III, a program dedicated to durational performance art taking place 24 hours a day in the storefront window of ATA’s micro-cinema.
