Dutch artist Maria Blaisse creates works that blur distinctions between costume and sculpture. In many cases, it’s difficult to determine which is in control: the body or the form. For Mother’s Day a group of local choreographers, dancers and architects join Blaisse and the Netherlands’ multidisciplinary research and curatorial platform Slow Research Lab for a “dance of possibilities.” Presented in partnership with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, her phenomenal bamboo Moving Meshes is a performance/demonstration of Blaisse’s woven structures that give tangible expression to her vision for the built environment as something flexible and closer to nature.
