Pas de Deux

Sorry for my long break there, but May and June were a bit crazy. I'm currently working on finalizing my dissertation proposal and I just submitted an academic article, so there hasn't been a lot of extra time. But I feel bad because I have left everyone wondering about that amazing piece of performance art -Pas de Deux.

Well wonder no more. This post is devoted to that amazingly beautiful work of art by Daniel Wurtzel. 



It is such a seemingly simple concept:


just two pieces of cloth, 


some fans, 


an artist, 


and some glitter.


But what happens next...


is pure magic!


As the night wore on and the atrium got darker, the piece became even more memorizing. 


At points it really did look like two dancers.


While many of the guests lingered in the gallery, I chose to linger here.


I had already been through the exhibit (which is amazing as well), so I decided that I could sit back and enjoy this odd but beautiful show. 









After a while a crowd began to gather again. 


This time to play and experience the art for themselves. 


And I couldn't resist joining in!


I had an amazing time and it is an experience that I will not soon forget.

Again, I am sorry for the long hiatus, but I hope these pictures make up for it, at least a little bit. I'm hoping my next blog post will be something almost as cool that's here in DC for the summer, but we will just have to wait and see. (I promise it won't take two more months!)
