Unnamed Shapes is Corrie Befort's ongoing project of intertwined images, objects, concepts, environments, movement scores and physical vocabulary. Find more through this dedicated substack.
Loess, March 5th - May 30th, 2026, presents Unnamed Shapes as an evolving sculptural installation and performance series in the Moscow Contemporary galleries. Corrie will be visibly at work inside the installation, changing its seasons, contours and character throughout the three months to imitate, warp and reimagine the man-handled, surreal loveliness of the Palouse landscape. Local dancers and performers from Seattle, Portland and NYC will inhabit and re-callibrate this unstable environment over 5 performance weekends:
