Taylor Mac has embarked on a mammoth musical journey to chart the history of pop music in America, interpreting songs from the birth of the nation to the present day, in ways that are by turns irreverent and poignant.
ArtForum has called the project, entitled A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, a “face-wrenchingly funny…chronicle of sex, repression, expression, and community” and said “Mac is a master performer, riveting storyteller, and charismatic, otherworldly creature, dressed to the tens in artist/designer Machine Dazzle’s magnificent metamorphic glitz.”
