Celebrating the tenth year of collaboration, Bang on a Can and The Noguchi Museum present excerpts from Duet Behavior 2020 by Meredith Monk and John Hollenbeck, a first-time performance of Monk’s music as it has never been experienced.

To mark the closing weekend of Contract and Release, artist Brendan Fernandes and Senior Curator Dakin Hart lead an exhibition tour followed by a final performance featuring the full cast of six dancers.

Brendan Fernandes: Contract and Release is activated by dancers interacting with six “training devices” that Fernandes modeled on the Rocking Chair that Isamu Noguchi created for Martha Graham’s Appalachian Spring (1944), as well as Noguchi’s sculptures throughout the installation.
