Stephen Vitiello’s “Listening to Judd”

Intriguing work made from field recordings made while at a residency in Marfa, TX and while hanging around Donald Judd sculptures. If you are looking for an intro to “sound art” and your head is in the visual arts, this is a great opportunity.

Brent Green at the Kitchen 2/13, with thankful contributions by Jim Becker, Fred Lonberg-Holm, and Brendan Canty.

GUEST BLOGGER: Lana Fee, PERFORMA

This evening, the room felt much more like a living room than a kitchen. Brent Green invites some friends over to play some music and light a fire, while he tells the stories. Bursting directly into ‘Hadacol Christmas’ presents one of the cleverest snow-storm sequences I have ever seen from a stop-motion animator. Mr. Green is certainly the quintessential ’scrappy’ stop-motionist, in terms of his repertoire of materials. Surely, his Pennsylvania barn is full of creatures and specimen. The climax of the stories results in screaming and aggressive pounding, while all instruments are impeccably controlled and music precisely timed to the imagery. Brent Green creates his own oral tradition for his audience, and I am pleased guys like him have a place to share.

RoseLee Goldberg at Boston ICA 3/04

Reflecting Spectacle: Life as Art
06:30 PM
Breaking down barriers between art and life was an underlying motif throughout most of the 20th century, and today, with reality TV and the internet, this edge is more blurred than ever. As part of ‘The World as a Stage,’ which focuses on the theatricality of everyday life and the ways in which live performance and installation draw the viewer into the equation, renowned art historian RoseLee Goldberg, curator and director of the recently launched PERFORMA, the visual art performance biennial in New York, will provide context and background and a glimpse into some of the exciting commissions presented at PERFORMA 07. Joining Goldberg are Mark Tribe, artist and curator; Ann Carlson, choreographer, performer and conceptual artist; and Tim Jackson, director of “Radical Jesters,” a documentary about pranksters, performers, and provocateurs. The panel will respond to Goldberg’s ideas and explore the themes that motivate them to produce their own work.
