NOÉMIE LAFRANCE

RAPTURE / A SITE-SPECIFIC CHOREOGRAPHY ON  FRANK GEHRY’S FISHER CENTER, 2007/08

Noémie Lafrance finally found a proper use for Gehry’s architecture: “by the end of the meeting he (Gehry) was showing me all these maquettes ‘and you can dance on this one and you can dance on this one, this one’s not built yet but it’s coming. As soon as this one is ready, you should dance on this one’.”

1974 Soviet map of Manchester

“Leaving nothing to chance, maps for an armoured invasion of the city were secretly printed that year, for distribution to frontline commanders should the cold war turn hot. Ignoring one-way streets and rush hour jams, they marked the lines of an assault in bold orange, sweeping into the centre past Old Trafford and the current site of the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry.”
