Discussion | Not For Sale: Ideal Performance Space


What is the ideal performance space for 21st century New York? This session will be dedicated to the more discussion and speculation of what defines a performance space. It will examine past examples of performance spaces–whether deliberately designed or spontaneously invaded–and where they have succeeded and or failed. They will look at historical examples of arenas, from the Greek and Roman stages to experimental spaces such as Frederick Kiesler’s flexible theater to contemporary constructs such as Zaha Hadid’s Mobile Art container. The class may also discuss philosophical notions of space conveyed by different artistic movements such as Russian Constructivism or Modernism and how these ideas affected and continue to affect performance spaces and visual arts in general, performance in particular. By utilizing the Public School platform, this session intends to bring together professionals in visual arts, performing arts and architecture to understand the complex issues involved in ensuring a successful performance. Feel free to bring photographs, drawings or other visual examples of past present or future performance and theater spaces. RoseLee Goldberg and Defne Ayas will be on site and moderate. less

Performance | Performance Art: Aldo Tambellini and Christoph Draeger's Black Zero (1965)


The critically acclaimed Black Zero (1965) by Aldo Tambellini was one of the very first multimedia performances. more It will be recreated 44 years later in its original form by all the artists who were involved in its creation.

Flashing Lumagrams, hand painted projections by Aldo Tambellini, the rotations of Ron Hahne’s Spiral Machine sliding across moving screens, Benn Morea’s clamorous machines, the strident sounds of Bill Dixon and Alan Silva on horn and bass, the hard reality of black poet, Calvin C. Herton, flashing light and gas-masked heads form a continuous experience in Space, Light and Sound.”—News from the Bridge, November 23, 1965 less

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 more 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. less

Video | Loris Greaud’s The Snorks: A Concert for Creatures


The dark abyss of the ocean is the place on Earth that we know the least about. It is populated by photo-luminescent more creatures that flicker to the rhythm of their environment’s sound frequencies to produce undersea “light-shows,” a behavior that inspired the concept behind French artist Loris Greaud’s ambitious new project. This ongoing project will launch on November 19, 2009 in Abu Dhabi with breathtaking fireworks designed by the internationally acclaimed pyrotechnicians Groupe F that will recreate the bioluminescence of deep-sea creatures, featuring the experimental hip hop group Antipop Consortium. Then, the New York premiere of the video of this elemental sky sculpture, which will be recorded in HD and 35 mm, will be presented on the MTV screen. The blue fires, evoking fantasies of undersea exploration, will respond in a poetic and mysterious way to the frenetic lights of the city. less
