In February, The Whitney Museum of American Art presented Red In View (Orbit), a 10 day continuous performance art piece by artists MPA, Amapola Prada, and Elizabeth Marcus-Sonenberg. The project was a simulation of life in an enclosed habitat, which mirrors the experience settlers may one day find on Mars. For the duration of Orbit, the artists were governed by the climax clock, a schedule of moments of heightened intensity that allowed the performers to express themselves in the contained space. The project culminated in "Assembly," a final live performance outside of the enclosed space, in which the artists channeled their experience in Orbit and the "red emotions" - sexuality, anger, and human physicality, to reveal the colonizing effects of life on earth. Through this performance cycle, Orbit questioned the role emotions, creativity and radical expression might play in the future of space exploration.
