In a dance and sculptural performance, Brendan Fernandes: In Two presents a series of duets performed throughout the galleries. Responding directly to Scott Burton: Shape Shift, the dancers engage with Burton’s “furniture sculptures”—artworks that were originally made for public use. Like Burton (1939–1989), Fernandes draws on gestures and signaling within gay cruising culture as part of an ongoing exploration of queer camouflage, visibility, and embodiment. In addition to engaging with Burton’s artwork, dancers also activate two newly-commissioned sets of curtains installed in the upper and lower levels of the Pulitzer’s main gallery and a set of pillows that softly contrast with the hard materials of Burton’s work.
