Performance Lecture: 1-2 pm by Gordon Hall

In 1 – 2 pm, New York- based artist Gordon Hall engages the sculptures in Scott Burton: Shape Shift and the museum’s architecture, transforming the space into a dynamic stage. This lecture-performance shifts the audience’s focus through a blend of text, projection, and movement, exploring the often-overlooked experience of waiting—a state where time becomes palpable through inactivity. Situated somewhere between an academic lecture and a dance, Hall engages Burton’s practice and legacy, highlighting the potential of focusing on passive objects of support. Through their concept of the “politics of the chair,” Hall reveals waiting as a space filled with the pains and pleasures of interdependence.

This program takes place in the museum’s lower main gallery. There will be limited seating with chairs located on the upper and lower levels of the museum and cushions on the stairs.
