Sloss, Kerr, Rosenberg & Moore

MARY ELLEN STROM & ANN CARLSON

On loan from the Museum of Fine Arts, the video “Sloss, Kerr, Rosenberg, & Moore” was made with four practicing, successful New York City litigators. Highly formal in its spatial design and patterning, the performance becomes a twenty-first century folk dance. Four lawyers perform charismatically a movement and vocal score that references their work and lives, transforming a banal corporate office space into an exciting performance space. Visitors will be able to sit and watch the video, as if they are in a jury or in some civic space.
