Topsy Turvy Piano Players Make Noise At MoMA

Has this year's Marina Abramovic arrived? Five piano players (rotating) have trapped themselves in the middle of a piano for a performance piece at MoMA. WCBS went to check out the work—created by Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla—which consists of a piano player standing inside of a carved hole in the piano, and playing Beethoven... upside down. Each performance lasts about 30 minutes, during which time the player is also pushing the piano around; Julliard grad Evan Shinners says, “It’s got some good wheels. I’m driving a piano. It’s a hybrid." Ladies and gents, he'll be there all weekend (the performance only goes through Monday).
