Guillermo Gómez-Peña Presents

 A Spoken word ritual for the end of times

We invite you to a performance funeral: a wake, a procession, and a service presided over by one of the most consequential performance artists of our time.

For this project, Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s main artistic tool is the spoken word, and his own body the performance site. This performance is in dialogue with the work of Elaine Buss currently on view a the Crossroads Hotel gallery.

Join us on April 3rd for this ritual gathering.

Your presence is requested. Guests are asked to dress in funeral chic.

Schedule Wake: 7:00 PM  Funeral: 8:00PM

Program sponsored and organized by Petrichor Projects. Artist residency supported by the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art.
