In Situ-OMW: Cornelius Dufallo
In the third installment of In Situ, Cornelius Dufallo opens North 6th & Wythe to the electric violin. His looped tracks reverberate off the brick and offer the neighborhood a moment of wonder on a late afternoon in July. Directed and edited by artist Lena Rudnick.
In Situ-OMW’s first commission
The first installment of our ongoing film series documenting the construction of National Sawdust through performance, In Situ: Episode 1 is now finished! The film, shot and edited by Lena Rudnick, features the performance artist Helga Davis (the lead in Robert Wilson and Philip Glass’ seminal opera, Einstein on the Beach) improvising during demolition. Enjoy the film!
