Performance | Performance Art: Tamar Ettun & Emily Coates' Empty Is Also


Integrating objects, a dancer, a musician, and video, this piece inverts the usual conception of dance and sculpture in relation to the ephemeral by investigating dance’s durability versus sculpture’s ultimate disposability. The dancer inhabits the sculptural forms even as she rearranges them to create a sequence of landscapes that shift over time. The sculpture reflects the dancer’s energy and agency, while her movement absorbs the shape and nature of the objects with which she interacts. The tension between the perceived natures of sculpture and dance serves as the installation’s primary conflict, or reason for being. Music by Jane Ira Bloom. AUDIENCE IS INVITED TO ENTER AND LEAVE AT ANY TIME.

Talk | Meet Alan Gompers


Musician, millionaire, master salesman; con-man, drug dealer, convict; entrepreneur, benefactor, wise and revered meditation teacher – Alan Gompers has led an amazing life. His lifelong search for recognition, power and love drove him to make (and lose) million-dollar fortunes, betray friends and family and deal drugs, which ultimately brought him a 15-to-life prison sentence. It was in a maximum security prison that he finally found – deep within himself – what he had been seeking: the true meaning of freedom.

Workshop | Accidental Movement with Mariangela Lopez


A workshop open to everyone. No prior movement experience is necessary. The workshop space will become a platform to share individual experiences to create the identity of a group. The participants will explore their own creative and movement potential through releasing their personal memories and perceptions of their own environment by utilizing the power of the group to then build a collective experience. Lopez's work has emerged from the participation of different members of the community where she lives and develops her work. Through this workshop she hopes to build a core of participants for the development and presentation of a new work. This is an opportunity to be part of a creative process. The participants may choose to come only once or continue the exploration in a weekly basis. You don't need to start from the very first week, but remember that your consistency will determine your participation in the further development of the work. You don't need to want to perform to come to the sessions.

Performance | Performance Art: Danielle Freakley's The Quote Generator


For a few years Freakley performed by speaking in “quotations” with “reference” as her normal mode of speech, in everyday public life. She will be launching the second phase of her performance (speaking in quotation from people she has heard in the flesh) with a set of videos of the completed first phase and database of the second phase to come. From the launch onwards for the next year she will be speaking in quotes. Here, she will be wandering around attempting to converse for the first time in second phase quotes with audience members. There will be a quote generated speech to launch the new chapter. The Quote Generator is absorption of unoriginality. Language is already stolen; we already quote all the time. The Quote Generator is a foreigner fumbling desperately, constantly trying to learn the new mode of speech. The Quote Generator is vomit until you are what you eat, the books you read, the music you listen to, the films you watch, the people you talk to. Danielle Freakley is a performance artist, sculptor, sound artist, installation artist and drawer. Her interventionist performances mostly involve her developing a semiotic ability/disability throughout daily life, some performances spanning years living in a certain way whenever in public. Freakley is from Western Australia.

Screening | Guy Ben-Ner's Untitled: A Conversation With Himself About How Art Can Serve Life


Filmed and edited over the course of twelve months, Israeli artist Ben-Ner will present an unusual “live film,” that captures an ongoing phone conversation between the artist and himself as he flies to and fro between Berlin and Tel Aviv, the respective locations of his girlfriend and his family. Unlike a regular film, which is edited externally after all of the shooting is complete, Ben-Ner’s film never leaves the camera during a twelve-month period. The film always remains “live,” awaiting the next shot, which might take place in either Israel or Germany. Ben-Ner’s “storyboard” is life itself, and each scene occurs in real time, although with significant ellipses in between. Since the only editing is done entirely in-camera, the move from one shot to the next requires a real physical move: the camera traveling the full distance from Tel Aviv to Berlin and back as the dialogue progresses. Shot in Hebrew, and subtitled in English, the film presents a conversation in rhyme, which discusses how art can be at the service of life and the repercussions of such a unified relationship.

Performance | Performance Art: Alicia Framis' Lost Astronaut


An ongoing performance-installation exploring the potentialities of living on the moon through the ironical and fictional character and activities of a woman astronaut. Left on Earth like all women who were never part of the moon race, she settles in to BaseCamp, in which she will live for the 2 weeks of the biennial in a customized astronaut suit, among drawings and prototypes that aim to both parody and demand women’s presence on the moon. Her activities will be pre-determined by scores written by invited authors and artists, and the audience will be able to interact with her in BaseCamp or as she wanders the streets of New York City. Today's participating writer is Michael Schulman. Framis (b. Barcelona, Spain, 1967) creates work that investigates notions of national and group identities, the social mechanics of cities, and personal safety. She has exhibited internationally at institutions such as Museum Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Mass MOCA, North Adams, MA; Triennale Yokohama, and the Venice Biennale.

Performance | Performance Art: Bernd Krauß's iSLAND kEEPER


Exhibition by day and theater at night, iSLAND kEEPER stakes out new territory for artist Bernd Krauß. The live interpretive staging of the film The American Soldier by Rainer Werner Fassbinder aims to mimic Goethe’s model of education based on the dilettante’s exploration of masterworks via direct practice, using a minimum of means to enact a process that becomes more important than a piece fulfilled in all its possibilities. Presented by the collective Theater Societaet, of which Krauß is a founding member, the performances will unfold within a circular metal railing inserted into the center of the largest part of the Wyoming Building.

Colloquium | Ten Days for Oppositional Architecture: Towards Post-Capitalist Spaces


The transformation of the urban landscape within the last decades has increasingly been dominated by the demands of capitalist utilization. Due to the current crisis, however, which goes far beyond a mere crisis of the real estate and financial market, these neoliberal politics and attendant forms of production of space have been subject to a loss of legitimation. For this reason, not only do the dominance and promises of the privatization model, the free market and private property have to be questioned, but also the conventions of the space-producing professions that follow and materialize these policies. In this context, the event “Ten Days for Oppositional Architecture” takes up the task of exploring possibilities and conditions of a socially committed architectural practice. Therefore the narrow boundaries of the profession have to be left behind. Invited are activists, geographers, architects, planners, and economists representing different critical approaches to discuss and develop concepts and practices that not only try to oppose and challenge the capitalist mode of production of space, but also try to go beyond it strategies of de-commodification, re-appropriation and alternative production of space. They will look at already existing spatial actions of resistance as well as search for possibilities to further theorize them: How can these strategies and alternative practices be turned into social and political forces towards post-capitalist spaces?

Other | The Inwood Astronomy Project: Look at the Stars through a Telescope


THIS WILL OCCUR ONLY ON CLEAR NIGHTS, SO PLEASE CALL AHEAD TO CONFIRM. Come look through a telescope at the stars. The Inwood Astronomy Project is the largest public outreach program in New York City, hoping to get 5000 New Yorkers to come look through a telescope for the first time. They will be giving away posters, postcards, and other doodads. There is always a telescope to look through, and a knowledgeable astronomer to answer questions. Bring a flashlight for the climb to the hilltop. Call for details.
