Folding laundry is not usually interesting. I’ve done it while listening to music or watching TV and quickly put it out of sight and out of mind. But FOLD<\/a><\/em> from San Francisco-based new media artist Surabhi Saraf<\/a> offers an opportunity to ponder the mundane task in a different way. Saraf’s works meld music and choreography with experimental sound and video art. FOLD<\/em> presents the seemingly simple act in a mesmerizing way, evoking dance, waves, and even rainbows as different colored pieces of clothing are folded.<\/p>\n\n

FOLD {Live}<\/a><\/em>, taking place over the next few weeks, is a series of site-specific public performances where people fold laundry to a choreographed routine. One of four San Francisco performances will take place this Sunday, 9\/18, at the Federal Building<\/a> at 4 p.m. Sign up<\/a> if you are interested in performing in one.<\/p>\n\n

Saraf’s Fold {Live}<\/em> will also be presented at the upcoming Parramasala<\/a>, an Australian festival of South Asian arts in Parramatta, Sydney.
