Trying to find your way around this place? Like most expositions, we offer a map: Map of The World's Fair

i'm going to guess this is from his collection "Empty Words"
Posted by: slightlyfleury | May 14, 2008 11:16 AM
No, Empty words was an earlier work. This one is from 1962 and is an altogether more complex work. It is "Two Long Paragraphs and a Short One. Imagine That!" It was later choreographed by Merce Cunningham and performed regularly by Marcel Marceau.
