This proposition is transplanted into a contemporary context at the New Museum in Small (S), a solo performed by Harrell with visual material by artist Franklin Evans. (S) is one in a set of five pieces entitled Twenty Looks or Paris Burning at the Judson Church, which comes in five sizes: Extra Small (XS), Small (S), Medium (M), Large (L), and Extra Large (XL). (S) is co-presented by Danspace Project and the New Museum in association with Crossing the Line. Twenty Looks or Paris Burning at the Judson Church is made possible, in part, with funds from the 2009-2010 Danspace Project Commissioning Initiative with support from the Jerome Foundation.
