Haven’t you always wanted to know how to make things? Well, my friend. Wait no more. Britt Moseley is here to show you how to make.....something. This series of improvised “demonstrations” are messy, playful, and results in a....thing.
Along the way puppet versions of clocks, flowers, viruses, and Britt’s own inspiration antagonize and distract him from his duities.

It is efficient to name and categorize everyday things in order to communicate what those things are. When I say “shoe” you know exactly what I mean. If I point to that same thing and say “horizon”, you might imagine a narrative involving a lot of walking. If I remake it in ceramic it will be completely non-functioning and is now a heavy symbol for what we call a “shoe.” In this playful and irreverent body of work, I am interested in creating objects and media that confront and disrupt our ordinary patterns of classification in order to see the world in new ways.
Behind the topiary hedge wall is a collection of cardboard representations of water, poop, traffic cones, and many other random things. Every few seconds one of these signs are held above the hedge wall accompanied by a booming voice announcing a new title for each sign. Sometimes, fog bursts out. The performance is improvised and durational, allowing for new words to be associated with different cardboard signs.

Like the “Things” performance, this is a durational, improvised puppet performance where an unseen puppeteer raises and lowers signs on sticks over the topiary wall. Each time a shape appears, they call out a name for the thing in a booming voice. Over the course of the evening, each sign is assigned a new name. This show was inspired by the local issue of waste in the groundwater.
