Shoe-Field (1982–89) consists of materials that artist Sonya Rapoport (1923, Brookline – 2015, Berkeley) created over the years through her interactive works on shoes. ‘My work is an aesthetic response triggered by scientific data’, said Rapoport. Now on show at Mudam, Rapoport’s display was conceived to be accompanied by a participative performance, A Shoe-In, where the participants were encouraged to reflect on their shoes through an interactive survey.
In this activation of Rapoport’s work, Mudam’s visitors will get the chance to interact with its original software, compare their results with the first iterations of the work, and discover what their own shoe psyche has to say.
As Shoe-Field humorously brings emotions into quantitative analysis and the technological realm, all participants will get to be part of a bigger project, transcending borders, institutions, and the expected uses of technology. The participation in the performance at Mudam will outlast the exhibition in Luxembourg, as the next presentation of the show will take place at Kunsthalle Wien.
