Last fall the Trisha Brown Dance Company continued its fortieth anniversary celebration with a number of site-specific performances at the Whitney. Now it leaps into its fifth decade with a group of shows in MoMA’s atrium as part of the museum’s Performance Exhibition Series, being staged in conjunction with “On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century,” which examines how drawing has changed in the last hundred years, featuring works by such artists as Aleksandr Rodchenko, Alexander Calder, Eva Hesse, Richard Tuttle, Mona Hatoum, and many others. On January 15 and 16 at 2:00 and 4:00, Brown will be presenting STICKS (1973), SCALLOPS (1973), and LOCUS SOLO (1975) as well as the premiere of ROOF PIECE RE-LAYED (2011), adapted from her original 1971 ROOF PIECE. MoMA will continue to explore the intimate connection between dance and drawings with Marie Cool and Fabio Balducci January 17-20, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker January 22-23, Ralph Lemon January 26-30, and Xavier Le Roy February 2-6.
