Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer and special guests Nyko Maca, Waway Saway, Daniel Darwin, and Jonan Aguilar. Video by the DLP. Choreography by Attack Theatre. Four years ago the Grammy-nominated production team DEORO embarked on a radical musical adventure on the remote island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines.

Fusing their unique style of classical groove with the thousand year old local tradition of tribal music, Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer continued their collaborations in the bustling metropolis of Manila fusing the tribal music with the edgy urban sounds of some of the best known young Filipino Artists Nyko Maca and Jonan Aguilar. This resulted in the release of DEOROXX a powerful record celebrating the fusion of western and Filipino music. DEORO now brings this innovative fusion of the classical the tribal and urban contemporary to Lincoln Center for a powerful evening of music, dance, martial arts and video celebrating Filipino culture past and present and a new era of extreme collaboration. The Meet the Artist Saturdays performance is a special workshop production for the entire family and is a sneak peak at the world premiere to take place May 9, 2013..

Opening Reception | Jorge Macchi's Loop, a Variety of Works


The works to be shown in Jorge Macchi’s first one-person exhibition manifest the measure of time and reiterate its extension in space through a series of projections, objects and watercolors. Macchi’s finely tuned vocabulary results in works which are simultaneously poetic and uncanny. Two new sculptures will be included in this exhibition: Pendulum (2013) a curved I-beam supported by two plastic stools appears to buckle under its own weight; in First Second (2013) Macchi has captured the moment of the first second after the hour in a cast concrete wedge. Two video projections will be included in the exhibition: XYZ (2012) and From Here to Eternity (2013).
