about

Barbara T. Smith
What Do Dogs Say When They Bark, 1975

Originating from a workshop at the Woman's Building, participants were sent out to adjacent MacArthur Park to gather the sounds of dogs barking in different languages. (E.G. Bow Wow, Arf Arf, Vaw Vaw). Subsequently those sounds were incorporated into the piece. During the performance an artist made a wall painting over Smith's white gessoed body, as four standing women draped with beautiful colored fabrics sent up loud, reverberating dog-like howls. Two other women barked the gathered dog sounds in several languages while two real dogs began to howl.

Audio: 6 performers and two dogs.
