Hotel Mondrian presents a curatorial project produced and curated by Janet Levy, Independent Curator and Gallery Owner / Director of See Line Gallery in Los Angeles.The curatorial project, The Mythology of Interiors, is an original live video performance of short acts written and directed by New York and Berlin based Artist, Nicole Cohen.

The Mythology of Interiors is a performance about interior design spaces, using art world actors/ performers, using their bodies as screens, where they wear white clothes and are video projected onto their actual clothes and follows them with their movements.

The short acts were written to describe historical interior spaces as they also are inspired and relate to mythology. There will be a detailed program, which will be online shortly for more specific information about the script.

The short acts are The Pomegranate Seeds, The Golden Fleece, The Seduction of Lo, Atlas, Mount Olympus, and The Underworld. These scenes all describe interior design in relation to mythology. In other words, the myth will be acted out and there will be an emphasis on the space and the interior design where they are and how they relate to the environment.  In all acts, there will be humor and a twist of a myth about how historical spaces can relate to contemporary design and space.

In the acts all of the 13 special guest performers represent the international art world. The performers are artists; curators, actors and museum professionals acting on a small outdoor white stage at the Sky Bar with white theater curtains.

This project is a site-specific performance made for the Hotel Mondrian. Based on the Sky Bar and the Mondrian being well known for its exquisite interiors, this project was formed and created to reference the sky (mythology) and the interiors. The short plays show an energetic and lighthearted way of physically expressing design + space + and references myths. Although, they are made with a contemporary twist. They are understandable and entertaining for an uplifting evening with intelligent writing and connections with how the body with new digital media describes interior design.
