Tenth Spectacle

1978, 29:40 min, color, sound

Sherman may best be known for his solo Spectacle performances, which usually took the form of quick-paced interactions with everyday objects over a table top. He created and performed eighteen Spectacles in total, twelve of which he performed solo, and six with groups of collaborators. A prominent theme of the Spectacles was Sherman's playful use of scale, either in the amplification of small gestures and details, or the miniaturization of theatrical spectacle.

In his Tenth Spectacle, Sherman draws from his supply of mass-produced objects and site-gags to enact portraits of places ranging from Coconut Grove, Florida to Cairo, Egypt.

Preserved by EAI in collaboration with the Fales Library & Special Collections, NYU and the Barbara L. Goldsmith Preservation Lab, NYU Libraries.

Produced at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, 1980. Camera: Mel Andringa.
