Take Me Out To Play
Interactive Performance: 8:30 - 10:30 PM
Friday, October 28, 2011
Seattle Art Museum, Remix
In The Think Tank (SAM main level)

Be part of the picture! Join my garage glam baseball girls in a photo shoot.

Inspired by the SAM exhibition, Our National Game, currently on view in the third floor galleries, I invite guests to participate in an interactive performance where they can step into a photographic recreation of Norman Rockwell's painting, The Dugout, and get their picture taken.

Participants can choose to sit inside the dugout with my personas, The Batter, The Catcher and The Umpire; or they can yell out from the bleachers in mimicry of Rockwell's painted baseball fans. I will also perform for the camera as The Pitcher.

Be part of the team or a jeering fan!
Portraits can be downloaded here

P.S.
What's the song I hear playing in the SAM exhibition Our National Game and during the live performance in The Think Tank? Take Me Out is a 7' chorus, remixed and recorded by Rentley Brothers, written for this performance by Keeara Rhoades, 2011

This project is made possible with generous contribution from Brian Wetzstein, Evan Bauer, BatGirls, Leah Vendl, Julia Freeman, Anja Koval, Samantha Bailey, Nathanael Volckening, Photographic Center Northwest, Seattle Art Museum
