Energy and speed of expression are the signatures of Rosenquist’s language. Dance and Pop Art have a long history together. A friend of Rosenquist, in addition to the well-known Warrol, is Robert Rauschenberg. Both of them believe in engravings technique as an excellent artistic language. Engraving means corporeality.
Rauschenberg had understood it so clearly that he placed his creative process alongside with Merce Cunningham’s dance (by designing for him scenographies and costumes). We are not Merce, that’s for sure, but we pay heed to his precision and his trust on fortuity.
With these premises, we will look for a dance for Rosenquist.
