“Trenton Doyle Hancock resurrects his 1998 performance Off-Colored into a new context with the work Devotion. Hancock brings to life the mythical creature called the Mound as he sits atop a wooden structure, covered in a colorful, fur-striped sheet. He is fed huge bowls of Jell-O and, in between feedings, sings a spiritual hymn taught to him by his Grandmother as a child. The singing of this hymn not only references Hancock’s religious upbringing and the devotional services he attended every Sunday, but also reaffirms his connection to his relatives and loved ones who are no longer living. By bringing these hymns into the museum space, Hancock draws a connection between his religious past and his present relationship as an artist to the museum (or gallery). In so doing, he asks us all to consider what it means to be devoted to an idea or vision.”

Pope.L’s new work, Costuming the Body with Nothing (2012), was repeated, unannounced, periodically during the run of the exhibition. The action–an endurance work–is that of a figure walking through the gallery space and standing, arm extended into a void, until exhausted. The wall, which has an opening for the performer to insert his arm, will essentially act as a recorder of the performance. The work will be activated one last time during the closing reception
Pope.L (b. 1955) is an artist known for his irreverent performance art that strikes at the heart of contemporary sociopolitical concerns. He has eaten copies of The Wall Street Journal, crawled up and down Manhattan, given away money to strangers, and tied himself to a bank door as a means to investigate the varying racial dynamics in contemporary society, the price of capitalism, and the differences between the haves and the have-nots.
