Burden Halved
(2020), will be shown concurrently on Ruby City’s AppleTV app and on both Blue Star Contemporary and Ruby City's Facebook Live and Instagram TV streams (@BlueStarArt and @RubyCity).This event marks the film’s premiere in a visual art institution context and features direction and choreography by McNamee and wearable sculptures created by Schnitger, a Linda Pace Foundation Collection artist.
