Dec 4 Pictures and Performance: A Melodrama
3:00 pm at the Brick Theater / 575 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn / FREE
Are static, two dimensional picture sequences and live, three dimensional performance pieces irreconcilable media, or are they actually star-crossed lovers, desperately longing for a reunion following centuries of tragic separation? Join us for a special afternoon of mixed-media pieces by Peter Burr, Juliacks, Bill Kartalopoulos, Ben Katchor, Shana Moulton, R. Sikoryak and Matthew Thurber, presented in a framework suggested by Josef Franz van Goez’s Lenardo und Blandine, an 18th century German melodrama that was visually transcribed to create — the first graphic novel?
With Kathleen Amshoff and Wolfgang Till-we present an excerpt from the theatrical performance art adaptation of the comic, Swell at the Brick Theatre.

...all in one night...
This book-centered event opens the pages of books, comics, and drawings and shows what happens when ideas merge into one evening of gadzooks.
Ballroom Marfa and Marfa Book Company will screen, Search Party, featuring eight animations and experimental videos from Finland, Sweden and the USA. The event starts at 8:30pm Sunday, October 30th at Marfa Book Company and is free and open to the public. The show features works by Shana Moulton, Hooliganship and Peter Larsson.
Search Party, curated by current Ballroom Marfa intern Amy Johnson, explores the fantasies that emer...ge as internal psychological and external physical worlds collide. Stylistically many of the videos combine live action with animation constructing unique visions of parallel realities.
Artists include Shana Moulton who has exhibited her series Whispering Pines internationally at PS1, Performa and TBA. Hooliganship is known for their animation compilations Cartune Xpres and multi-media performance tours. And Peter Larsson’s Seven Days in the Woods premiered at the 2011 Berlinale.

Maher was production designer for Meredith Danluck’s film North of South, West of East featured in Ballroom Marfa’s current exhibition AutoBody, on view through January 29, 2012.
Curator Amy Johnson will be showing her animation Sing Siren Song and she was the editor and production designer for JuliACK’s 16mm Finnish-American film Invisble Forces.

2009 - 2010: Fulbright Year in Helsinki, Finland! Project Title: Exploring Psychological and Physical Worlds. June 12: Moving Through Performance at Performance Studies International Conference www.psi16.com as part of Graduate Student Cabaret. In Toronto! "We have assembled a roster of student artists who utilize the Cabaret format in its widest sense: a performance salon placing visual art, dance, poetry, video, audio, puppetry, performance, and theater together in front of an audience, in segments ranging from 30 seconds to ten minutes. We use the cabaret form to test the boundaries between theory and practice, to engage with the conference theme Performing Publics, and to stage performances that interrogate the notions of performance, studies, and the international." Robert Gill Theatre, University of Toronto 8 p.m.

2009 - 2010: Fulbright Year in Helsinki, Finland! Project Title: Exploring Psychological and Physical Worlds. October 31st: Candles n' Conversations With the permission of the cemetery director, Ari Pipatti, and with the help of my Finnish friend Saara Ratilainen we respected the changing of the seasons and the ones that have passed. In the midst of the All Saints Day holiday tradition of people bringing candles to the graves of relatives, I provided the means to make hand sculpted candles out of soft wax for free as a way to start a conversation. I learned about how cemetery visitors felt and what the holiday means to people who go to the cemetery and sometimes who they were remembering. Documentation by Kate Fox Production manager: Addison Kemp Look out for a video coming soon! |

2009 - 2010: Fulbright Year in Helsinki, Finland! Project Title: Exploring Psychological and Physical Worlds. October 4th: Swell play reading in Lappland. Fellow Fulbrighters and I traveled to Kilpisjarvi in Finland. There, we found a beautiful barren landscape. I have just finished the script for the play, "Swell." and we did a reading of it in this amazing smoke hut. Each person came to the hut by themselves and took a potato out of my hat. On the potato was a picture of the character that they would read. I then told them about their character, and told them to think of a word or a sound that they associated with loss. The reading of the play was similar to a passover Seder where we would read the script, but also take breaks to talk about the sounds/words of loss that they thought of, and also to make toasts to death, to life, to them, to the fire, and to the unconscious. This preliminary reading is being developed into a performance for the Night of Live Art at the Theater Academy in Finland December 2nd-4th and in Pori, Finland on December 5th.

2009 - 2010: Fulbright Year in Helsinki, Finland! Project Title: Exploring Psychological and Physical Worlds. October 1st: Musical and live drawing performance at a hospice in Helsinki. Fellow Fulbrighter-Melanie Lahti and I performed at a Hospice where she played Bach on the clarinet and I drew live with an overhead projector. The main point was to not provoke or disturb the patients and provide a pleasant experience. This experience taught me that the Finnish/English language barrier should be addressed as the goals of the performance may not be achieved without linguistic understanding.
