As if People Don't Hate Lawyers Enough Already



Via Sullivan, in a Poseur Alert that really should be an All Points Poseur Bulletin:
On exhibit is Sloss, Kerr, Rosenberg & Moore (2007), a video made in collaboration with four practicing New York City attorneys John Sloss, Chet Kerr, Scott Rosenberg and Thomas Moore. The work features the lawyers performing a movement and vocal score that references their work and lives. The rhythmic sequences illustrate the performative aspects of litigating, the pressures experienced while working inside the juridical system, the contest, the service and ultimately the lawyers individual humanity. Highly formal in its spatial design and patterning, the work becomes a kind of twenty-first century folk dance.
There's even a picture!

I expect the performance resembles this classic dance cycle, shown in reenacted version here due to copyright issues...hooray lawyers!
