Papo Colo

May 22–August 28, 2016 - The MoMA PS1 exhibition centers around Colo’s Superman 51, in which he drags a collection of fifty-one white pieces of wood behind him, tethered to his body with ropes, as he runs shirtless down an empty stretch of Manhattan’s West Side Highway until collapsing from exhaustion. The presentation at MoMA PS1 will coincide with The Cleaner, a new work the artist is performing in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, and will culminate in a festival in Puerto Rico in January, 2017, with the aim of drawing attention to the island’s present economic crisis.
