Bard College Alumni/ae Association Presents
New Orleans, LA - Veronica Hunsinger-Loe ’09 and Nat Kusinitz ‘09 have a play, Clouds/Cows, in performance
Attention is something that we pay– it’s a currency. It can be borrowed, spent and stolen. We live in an age of unprecedented demands on our attention from sources that yield less and less in return. Clouds/Cows is a diptych portrait of two commonplace subjects, one meteorological, one animal, that explores the transformation of perception that occurs when we shift our focus from that which clamors for our attention to that which simply exists.
Part one, Clouds, created in collaboration with sculptor Jessie Vogel, uses choral performance and large-scale living sculpture to immerse audiences in a collective daydreaming session. Part two, Cows, based on a short story by Lydia Davis, is a funny and tender portrayal of a year in the life of three domestic bovine.
At turns arresting and irreverent, Clouds/Cows subtly pokes fun at the way humans organize their lives, and gives audiences a brief respite from a hyperactive culture of multi-tasking and digital distraction.
