Art: 'Triangle Of Need'

Last update: August 23, 2007 - 4:54 PM

World premiere: As artist-in-residence at Walker Art Center this year, Catherine Sullivan teamed up with Twin Cities choreographer Dylan Skybrook, dancers Justin Jones and Kristin Van Loon and figure skater Rohene Ward to block out movement incorporated into a multichannel video installation that opened Thursday at the Walker.

Sullivan's elaborate installation was filmed at the luxurious 1910 estate that is now the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami and a nondescript apartment in an anonymous American city. Its plot is said to concern "evolution, class, wealth and poverty, and the inequalities and injustices of our global economy."

Toss in Neanderthals, reconstructed silent movies, slices from a different filming of the same script and original music and you get -- the artist promises -- an "imperfect apparatus" for interpreting the world. And perhaps, even, the kitchen sink. (Through Nov. 18, $10 adults. Artist's talk, 7 p.m. Sept. 13, free. Walker Art Center, 1750 Hennepin Av., Mpls. 612-375-7600 or www.walkerart.org)
