JULY 18
FREE TALK: ARTIST TALK: EDGAR ARCENEAUX, 6:30 PM
Just as a DJ samples beats and grooves from old songs to create new music, artist Edgar Arceneaux juxtaposes words and images from popular culture to create new meanings. His drawings invent ironic histories for today's pop icons. On this walking tour of One Planet under a Groove, Arceneaux explores the relationship between hip-hop and the art of wordplay. Meet in the lobby.
FREE TALK: ARTIST TALK: HOUSE[RAW], 7:30 PM, RESERVATIONS REQUIRED, AUDITORIUM
House[raw], a multimedia database/Web artwork designed by new-media developer-curator Wayne Ashley and Ralph Lemon, showcases the choreographer's research and creative process months before the performance opens. For this presentation, Ashley and Lemon guide the audience through the site's growing repository of documentation and sound from Lemon's travels to historically volatile places in the South. They will also show sections from Before and After Geography, a Web documentary Ashley directed at BAM in 2000, based on Lemon's Tree (Part 2 of the Geography trilogy).
THIS PROJECT IS MADE POSSIBLE BY SUPPORT FROM THE INSTITUTE FOR STUDIES IN THE ARTS AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY AND THE WALKER ART CENTER.
