For LUMINEX 3.0, Nao Bustamante will reprise her work Brown Disco, inviting the spectator to defamiliarize the optical trick by which a disco ball disperses light into fantasy. At once light source and spaceship, this exuberant installation interposes itself into the art historical debate over minimalism’s “theatricality.” Bustamante has long been one of the theorists and practitioners of brownness, seen here as the uncanny and sometimes awkward alchemy that happens when bodies collide. Brown Disco is a soft memorial, emphasizing the care and comfort we find in the club.
