Liliana Porter, Forced Labor (blue sand) II (2008) (detail), part of the series 'Forced Labor'. Figurine and blue sand on shelf. 25.4 x 109.22 x 7.62 cm
The performance, part of the programming for Porter's survey now on view uptown, at El Museo del Barrio, features a series of short vignettes with a cast of disparate characters performing in often absurd scenarios-a ringmaster trying to tame a stuffed animal lion, twins mimicking each other, a man with a mask staring at a stuffed duck.
