Trisha Brown and Robert Rauschenberg: 'Glacial Decoy' at the Walker Art Center Must-See Museum Shows Across the U.S.

By Eileen Kinsella & Willliam Van Meter & Annie Armstrong

The exhibition, which marks Rauschenberg’s centennial year, pays tribute to the groundbreaking 1979 dance of the same name (Glacial Decoy), which premiered at the Walker. Brown choreographed the performance, in which four figures in flowing dresses shift back and forth on the stage, against a backdrop created by Rauschenberg. His oversized, rotating black-and-white photographs of everyday objects serve as a way to ground the performers’ dramatic movements in the physical world. The exhibition includes original costumes, video documentation, and archival materials. Further, it kicks off a multidisciplinary series of programs to celebrate the artist’s centennial.
