Commissioned by the Whitney Museum for its retrospective, Buckminster
Fuller: Starting with the Universe, Abacus is a site-specific
performance and installation piece produced in collaboration with Lars
Jan of Early Morning Opera. By recombining material and rhetorical
tropes of Buckminsiter Fuller’s oeuvre, the piece seeks to construct a
new relevance to Fuller’s methods of making. [Abacus was unfortunately
cancelled due to financial constraints. Subsequently the project has
been awarded a residency and grant from EMPAC and will be workshopped
and developed at their facility in the Spring of 2009.]
