Ceaseless and Solitary

Ceaseless and Solitary, a performance art work by The Bridge Club, features four women engaged in ongoing solitary practice-- picking at paper or thread, excavating bone or plaster, or methodically rearranging or reconstructing the materials found in their respective environments. The spaces these women inhabit reference both the decorative comforts of the domestic and the confined austerity of a cell. Though not confined, the continuity of their activity indicates that they are unable or unwilling to see the possibility of leaving. This is a ceaseless individual pursuit, mirrored unknowingly by others engaged in similar pursuits-- something between working and waiting.

Ceaseless and Solitary was performed for a two-hour duration in the main gallery of the Durango Arts Center in Durango, CO on March 2, 2007.
