My most significant artistic influence is my grand dad, because he was so dedicated at digging his conceptual tunnel. – Laure Prouvost

Laure Prouvost’s installation Wantee, which garnered her the 2013 Turner Prize, envisioned a fictional relationship between Prouvost’s grandfather and artist Kurt Schwitters. With From the Sky, a performance mixing video, music, and live narrative, Prouvost invokes and considers the impoverished specter of her invented grandfather, a conceptual artist.

From the Sky premieres at Danspace Project tonight and tomorrow at 8pm.
