Lecture

​MOCA Assistant Curator Lanka Tattersall leads a walkthrough of Patrick Staff: Weed Killer. Staff’s immersive, MOCA-commissioned video installation takes the effects of chemotherapy as its central subject, mixing choreographic gestures shot with high-definition thermal imaging and a performance of a monologue adapted from artist-writer Catherine Lord’s memoir, The Summer of Her Baldness (2004).
