Performance | Maybe I should have called it 'My Life in Nineteen Minutes': A 12-Hour Art Event

Saturday, March 5, 2011, 2:00 pm to 2:00 am

Free

Taking its name from Alexander Calder's response to 'Work in Progress,' his 1968 theatrical production, Maybe I should have called it 'My Life in Nineteen Minutes' is a twelve-hour one-day event that presents a continuous series of artist film screenings, performances, and music. Influenced by Calder's investigations into improvisational performance, appropriated materials and continual change through the development of his iconic 'mobiles,' Maybe I should have called it 'My Life in Nineteen Minutes' will traverse history by reading it through the present moment, zigzagging through different scenarios via the slippage of time and space. It will engage an active audience through different media and temporalities via numerous set-changes, playfully interrogating life's intermissions.

Artists: Dara Birnbaum, Steven Cairns, Alexander Calder, Mike Cooter, Friends, Michael Fullerton, Nick Hallett & Brock Monroe, Phillipa Horan, Yves Klein, Torsten Lauschmann, Gordon Matta-Clark & Jamie Davidovich, Herbert Matter, Matt McCormick, Rivane Neuenschwander, Tony Oursler, PC Worship, Pablo Pijnappel, Sally Potter, Laure Prouvost, Hans Richter, Giles Round, Holton Rower, Gryphon Rue, Snowden Snowden, Corin Sworn, Mika Tajima, Alexis Marguerite Teplin, Cara Tolmie, White Suns, William Wegman
