Erased space / material trace
How are labour and (in)visibility intertwined with text, performance, and architecture ?
Beth Weinstein, in residence at The Window, investigates the Gordian knot of spatially and politically constructed (in)visibility. Intern[ed], her current work-in-progress, explores performances of erasure and redaction in order to critically reflect on the space of razed internment camps in the American South West, and the labours performed there by “evacuated” internees—weaving camouflage netting and fabricating model boats for the US military, and producing adobe bricks for buildings of their own imprisonment.
In anticipation of a collaboration with Catherine Baÿ, ARGG and The Window in 2018, Beth introduces / performs her work in progress.
Beth is an architect, performance-scholar and –maker, and associate professor at the University of Arizona. Her doctoral project (University of Tasmania) explores “choreographies of spatial labour: manifesting the hidden in architectural (un-/re-) making.”
