*Elaine Summers Centennial (NYC) - at Various/Artists
8pm Sunday 14*
Bringing Elaine Summers home to be featured among the events of the
thirty-fifth annual series produced by Experimental Intermedia - the very
organization she founded back in 1968 - this tribute screening will show
five of her early film-works as part of the Centennial year celebrations of
her legacy; a choreographer, filmmaker, originator of the movement practice
Kinetic Awareness and intermedia artist, Summers was interested in
exploring what film could do that dance could not, and how they could work
together to create a temporary third, new entity that she referred to as
intermedia; two of the works were created with late EIF director Phill
Niblock as cinematographer; curated by Katherine Liberovskaya,
introduction-video by Thomas Körtvélyessy, special thanks to Gustavo
Matamoros (subtropics), Freddy Jouwayed, the Artistic Estate of Elaine
Summers and the Jerome Robbins Dance Division, and the New York Public
Library of the Performing Arts; *elainesummersdance.com

Minos Circuit Rewired (2024 - 2025) : performance for microphone feedback

contingent musicality of feedback; through microphone feedback, various
resonant spaces - the cavities of a disassembled bassoon, the concert room
itself – are made audible, turning physical volume into frequency and
unintended harmony; *portraitsgrm.bandcamp.com/album/minos-circuit
