Preview night for a celebration of Msgr. Harry Greig’s 50th anniversary. Had lots of wonderful opportunities to connect with old family friends and share stories about my artwork, stories about this place.

Come out tonight for the official opening reception, and a special—spectacular—installation of 100 additional flags on the pavement of Pujo Street outside the gallery. At 7 o’clock, I will gather these flags, two by two, each with a unique danced gesture inspired by the signals themselves.

Be a witness.

Saturday, May 30, 5-9pm
104 W Pujo St
Lake Charles, LA

Performance at 7pm

Hey all you dance artists, river lovers, flag wavers! Come join us this Sunday at 4pm for an Open Rehearsal and get a sneak preview of A House Unbuilt’s next choreographic project, 100 Rivers. Meet me in the flesh! As well as new collaborator .mosser and see our work in action as we prepare for its debut in June at in Dubuque, IA.

“Drawing on maritime signaling systems designed to convey urgency across distance, 100 Rivers reimagines communication as an embodied and relational practice. The signals do not translate directly; instead, they hold conditions—rest, instability, reorientation—that move through both human and ecological systems.”

Sunday, April 26 at 4:00pm
Location: Studio 2b at Hennepin Center for the Arts
This is a free event. Come as you are.

For more information, contact Victoria at [email protected] or Brenna at [email protected].
