For their next 24-hour Residency, Dorado 806 Projects is pleased to present Thank god I’m miserable by Cecile Pearson from December 11th through December 12th.
For a 24-hour livestreamed performance, Pearson will be hand-knitting the individual frames of a stop-motion animation of a dollar bill catching on fire. She’ll be working in a staged office set in the front window of Dorado 806 Projects. At the end of the 24 hours and the start of the in-person reception, she’ll post the animation to social media. Each frame of the animation will be a separate art piece hung in the gallery.
Thank god I’m miserable is a corporately compliant reaction to the one true American deity, the U.S. Economy. Like other omnipotent, omniscient, and angry gods, one doesn’t have to believe in him to fear his cultural wrath.
This is Pearson’s first solo show, first residency, and first endurance performance.
