Saturday, June 5, 2010
3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
In conjunction with the Greater New York, a series of weekend performances will take place throughout the building for the run of the exhibition, on view through October 18.
3pm: Maria
Petschnig - Family Begutz
Maria Petschnig’s
performance Family Begutz explores
notions of fantasy through a complex set of personal images and cultural
associations. Hidden behind a curtain, Petschnig enacts different
scenarios and
gestures that are presented via a camera and projector to the audience
in the
adjacent gallery. By juxtaposing intimate and found photographs
with actions that persistently shift between the sensual and the
grotesque, Petschnig questions and blurs distinctions between public and
private. The performance will take place in the 3rd Floor Archive
Galleries.
4pm: Amy Yao with Jacob Robichaux - Ghost of Birthdays Past
Working from a shared interest in the
vernaculars of party supplies, magic tricks, jokes, didactic materials, still
life, and abstraction, Jacob Robichaux and Amy Yao's ongoing collaborative
performances explore play, visual puns, chance and the absurd. The performance will include a special appearance by Baby Boo. The performance will take place in the 1st Floor Main Gallery.
5pm: Darren Bader recommends -
Brian
Belott, Apparent Wuzzup Fluid performs. The performance will take place on the 2nd Floor.
