Shelter is the third and final performance in the Needs series and presents Longva and Carpenter each performing related acts. One woman sits at a square table, piled high with tiny pea-sized stones. She considers, counts, and drops each one to the ground. A second woman, with an identical table and chair strapped to her back, attempts to drag a huge bag of stones across the length of RoCo's main gallery. The first and second pieces in the Needs series have recently been performed in the region. Hunger was performed at Big Orbit, Buffalo, NY, Thirst was performed at Foster Lake in Alfred, NY both in May 2011. |

Longva+Carpenter is a new collaborative partnership between Norwegian video/performance artist Terese Longva and US performance/installation artist Laurel Jay Carpenter. The pair has been collaborating via blog and video conferencing to develop new works that utilize both the body and time as material in their investigations of personal longings, feminist ideology and political urgency.
