Anya Gallaccio‘s installation Red on Green may leave elicit a different reaction depending on when you catch the show. Gallaccio plucked the heads of 10,000 roses and arranged them into large neat rectangle. At first the installation may resemble a grand romantic gesture. However, Gallaccio’s interest is piqued by what the installation becomes. In a way Red on Green turns into a type of natural performance as the field of red shifts to brown. She utilizes the loaded symbol of the rose as a starting point for investigating the natural processes of death and decay.

Movie Trivia: The extras in the group lunch at the Lion’s Club in Take Shelter were only told they would get free lunch and be in a movie. They had no idea the scene would escalate to a physical fight and psychotic rant.
