Coinciding with the opening of Perpetual Conceptual: Echoes of Eugenia Butler and organized as part of the Pacific Standard Time Performance and Public Art Festival, LAND and Corazon del Sol present a recreation of Eric Orr’s Wall Shadow, 1970.Originally staged in front of Eugenia Butler Gallery, the performance consisted of four parts: first, Orr constructed a wall of cinderblocks; second, he outlined the wall’s shadow with white tape; third, he painted the shadow in grey paint; and finally, he removed the wall, leaving the shadow as the vestige of light it once blocked. Following this recreation, LAND will screen Crazy Wisdom: The Life and Work of Eric Orr.

Special thanks to The Eric Orr Estate.
