Nancy Popp
at Klowden Mann
It’s often fascinating to witness artists perform. Then the world temporarily appears to stop around them and to listen in. This was the case, when Tehching Hsie locked himself up in a wooden cage for a year to demonstrate a person’s struggle with isolation, or chained himself to artist Linda Montano with an 8-foot long rope to show the struggle of two people being in a close relationship. This also happened when Yoko Ono sat ... (read more)

She ... (read more)

Nancy Popp Featured in ArtScene 7.1.14
(Klowden Mann Gallery, Culver City) Nancy Popp is best known for her performative interventions that explore the body’s relationship to physical spaces. She often scales walls or climbs poles, cascading her body up, down and across architectural spaces. The sites of her recent interventions are incomplete buildings that are still under construction. They appear skeletal, framed but not yet covered. Her exterior works call attention to the architecture of the site, but it is really the way the body moves through these unfinished ... (read more)
