Join the Menil Collection for an afternoon of interactive performance in conjunction with Walter De Maria: Boxes for Meaningless Work as the museum’s main building is activated by artists and musicians interpreting and realizing rarely presented scores and experimental actions inspired by the work of Walter De Maria and his peers in the New York City avant-garde scene of the 1960s.

A Day of Meaningless Work is co-curated by art historian Natilee Harren and artist Gabriel Martinez. Participating performers include Ethan Adkison, Saran Alderson, Andrea Benabent Follana, Zoie Buske, Olivia Ek, Arthur Gilligan, Justin Jones, Randi Long, Pablo Martínez Martínez, and Zulma Vega. This program is presented in collaboration with the DACAMERA Young Artists Program and the University of Houston School of Art.
