In this From the Vault post from 2006, Roberta interviews Martha McDonald about a site-specific performance at Bartram’s Garden. The artist has continued to perform in historically resonant spaces–this Sunday, June 11, McDonald will lead audience members through the 18th-century estate of Andalusia on the Delaware River as part of Headlong and the Philadelphia Contemporary’s The Quiet Circus: River Charette series (more info here: http://philadelphiacontemporary.org/river-charrettes-post/). She will explore the history of the site as a place of refuge during the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793, inviting the audience to tune into its historical resonance and contemporary reality. Artblog will be there!
