Abstract Nationalism at The Phillips Collection

Beginning with the work’s 2014 premiere at The Phillips Collection in Washington DC’s Embassy Row, the series is constituted in great part by its evolving productions designed for specific contexts and institutions, as well as less institutional social interventions in relevant sites or situations. This part of the project includes musical and non-musical performances that use the choreographies and protocols of national ceremonies as a key art material and source of inspiration. Publications, websites, social media platforms, mapping interfaces, blogs and feeds, forums and digital networks, as well as databases on flags and anthems are also understood to be part of these social and institutional interventions.
