.ABOUT
A Gods Shadow is a performance
stencil action part of the "Stencils" exhibition
at the New England School of Art and Design in Boston M.A. . Performed
and conceived by V£LÅ Phelan It includes four small
statues of gods/goddess.
1. COATLIQUE 2. SHIVA 3. ANUBIS 4. HADES
These four statues will be on a shelf in
the gallery. I will perform the last four Fridays of the show August
3/ 10/ 17/ 24. On the first Friday, August third, I will take Coatlique
of the shelf from the gallery and take it to its shadow casting location
scheduled for 8pm. In the chosen location
I will be dressed all in black ,
carrying only a large flashlight and one of the gods.
I will proceed to cast the shadow of the chosen god on anything
around me for two hours (10pm).

. Intent
The intent for this public space intervention is to consider
the physical form we give to gods and how their only true physical
manifestation of life is through the shadow they cast. It is also a demonstration
of the energy, enigma and magic found in a shadow.
. Definition
Sten-cil n To decorate or mark a surface with
a shadow.
