EMERGENT ECOLOGIES
Emergent Ecologies Art Exhibit
NYC Emergence: Kilroy Metal Ceiling, April 30th -June 18th 2016
283 Greene Ave, Brooklyn, 11238
Opening: Sat, April 30th, 6 pm till very late
Featuring over 70 wild artists
Emergent ecologies are being fastened into place with new rivets and cyborg articulations. Amidst collapsing systems, unruly assemblages are flourishing and proliferating in unexpected places. Microbes that become emergent diseases-by finding novel exploits, pathways of transmission, or modes of existence-can quickly transform dominant political strategies, economic systems, or agricultural practices. Emergences can also figure into collective hopes. When a forest is clear-cut by loggers or destroyed by a volcanic eruption, emergent plants are the first to sprout.
Curated by Eben Kirksey, Lissette Olivares, Grace Glovier, Cody Kohn, Kayli Marshall, Greg Umali, and Alexandra Palocz
Rather than be a static exhibit that will stay the same from the opening and closing dates, our project will involve playing with the “hap” of what happens. Happiness, in the Old English sense of the word, means having “good hap” or fortune. We will be conducting experiments with happiness and glass, breaking down boundaries (and constructing new ones) to see what ecological communities might emerge.

“A praise song for the possibilities of bricolage, Emergent Ecologies is a postmodern natural history in which displaced ants, macaques, frogs, and flies tumble with philosophy, performance art, science, and adventure story. Eben Kirksey takes us on a wild ride through a funhouse of risky and ironic entanglements.” – Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, author of The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins.\
This work was made possible, in part, by the Franklin Furnace Fund supported by The SHS Foundation, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and general operating support from the New York State Council on the Arts.

5. Oreet Ashery at Stanley Picker Gallery, London, UK, thru June 12
14 April – 11 June 2016
Oreet Ashery Revisiting Genesis
revisitinggenesis.net
Please help yourself to tea and biscuits inside the exhibition (please note there may be traces of nuts and gluten)
As a culmination of her Stanley Picker Fellowship research, Oreet Ashery presents Revisiting Genesis, a new major commission taking the form of a web-series in twelve episodes. Written and directed by the artist, Revisiting Genesis explores the philosophical, sociopolitical, practical and emotional implications of the processes surrounding death and withdrawal, digital afterlives, outsider communities, social networks and reincarnations of women artists. With a new episode released weekly, the online narrative unfolds in parallel to Ashery’s exhibition at Stanley Picker Gallery, which transforms the space into an interactive, social environment inspired by local community centres. The display also includes Black Orchid (1956), a bronze sculpture by artist Dora Gordine, presented with its original plinth, which evokes Ashery’s fascination with the life of the artist.
Revisiting Genesis follows two nurses, both named Jackie, who assist people actively preparing for death to create biographical slideshows serving as their posthumous digital legacy. The slideshows become a tool for reflection on cultural and social loss, friendships and memory as identity. When a group of friends request this treatment for Genesis – an artist who is dying symbolically and otherwise – Nurse Jackie attempts to activate Genesis’ memory through the making of her slideshow, which draws from elements of Ashery’s own autobiography and explores the disappearance of social and educational structures under contemporary neoliberalism. Jackie concludes that it might not be Genesis who is vanishing, but the structures she had relied upon. Presented in parallel with Genesis’ story, the twelve episodes are intercut with improvised interviews between individuals with life-limiting conditions and Nurse Jackie, played here by a practising GP.
Developed in consultation with Medical and Death Online experts, including researchers at Kingston University, and produced with a range of artistic collaborators, Revisiting
Genesis responds to diverse influences spanning from feminist art practice to outsider and minority politics, as well as the emergent online death industry.
Oreet Ashery is a UK based interdisciplinary artist whose politically charged and socially engaged practice includes exhibitions, performances, videos and writings, in an international and local context, that explore issues of gender materiality, potential communities and biopolitics. Recent presentations include Fig.2 (ICA, London 2015), Animal with a Language (waterside contemporary, London 2014), The World is Flooding (Tate Modern, London 2014) and Party for Freedom (Artangel 2012-13). A current Stanley Picker Fellow in Fine Art at Kingston University, Ashery is represented by waterside contemporary.
Revisiting Genesis is commissioned by the Stanley Picker Gallery, Kingston University and supported by a Wellcome Trust Arts Award, public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, Tyneside Cinema, Goldsmiths University of London and waterside contemporary.

Joan Jonas in conversation with Barbara Clausen: April 26, 7-8:30pm
Phi Centre, 407 rue Saint-Pierre, H2Y 2M3
Opening: April 27, 5:30-8:30pm

Montreal Quebec H2Y 2R5

info@dhc-art.org
Curated by Barbara Clausen
This first retrospective in Canada devoted to the American multimedia artist Joan Jonas (b. 1936) will give insight into the artist’s oeuvre, spanning over five decades. It begins with her early choreographic works and pioneering video performances, such as the “Organic Honey” series, and culminates with her most recent piece They Come to Us without a Word, which was presented in 2015 at the Pavilion of the United States for the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale, and will premiere in North America at DHC/ART. The multimedia installation and performance They Come to Us without a Word is emblematic of the artist’s long-term interest in environmental politics, the landscape and ghost stories of Nova Scotia as well as the writing of the Icelandic author Halldór Laxness.
Since the late 1960s, Jonas has intermeshed various practices to investigate notions of gender, narrative and the concept of experience and space, as an act of translation and critical interaction with sculptural concepts and forms, translated into performances and installations. A visionary to this day, Jonas has always understood art to be an intrinsically hybrid practice that allowed her to dissolve classifications while exploring physical and object-based boundaries of art through gestures and space.
Jonas’s work, which has been exhibited extensively across the globe since the early 1970s, is dedicated to the exploration of non-linear narratives, oral history, as well as past and current politics; it translates popular culture, anthropological influences, and literary sources into a reduced and minimalist language of gestures, objects, and signs as an expanded notion of sculpture. Her intertwining of classical genres with cutting edge technologies, such as the combination of live drawing with video environments, offer both lyrical readings and cultural commentary on today’s world.
Jonas’s practice is rooted in her knowledge and passion for art history, mythology, poetry, literature, history, and cinema. She has traveled the world, from Cape Breton to Mexico, and from Japan to Iceland, weaving together a multitude of inspirations and sources: from Irish folk tales to Noh theater, from Greek mythology to psychoanalysis, from Ezra Pound’s poetry to Aby Warburg’s Atlas, right up to the effects of global warming and the torrents of current politics. Two narrative threads will unfold throughout the exhibition, circling around the notions of transparency and opacity, and giving vision to Jonas’s engagement with the environment and her capacity to not only desynchronize the gaze upon the self, but to deconstruct the power structures at the heart of the relationship between individual identity and collective memory.
Affinities: a series of performances, screenings, and conversations
In conjunction with the exhibition, DHC/ART and guest curator Barbara Clausen will present Affinities: a series of performances, screenings, and conversations, a program of events in two parts, from May 24 to 27 and from June 20 to 22. This series will present a performance lecture by Joan Jonas with Jason Moran (May 27) at DB Clarke Theatre, performances at the Phi Centre by taisha paggett (May 25), Tanya Lukin Linklater (June 21) and Simone Forti (June 22), as well as two evenings of film and video screenings (May 24 and June 20) at the Phi Centre in addition to an afternoon of conversations (May 26) at Hexagram UQAM/Concordia University.
While distinct in their own practice and aesthetics, the participating artists from the fields of dance, visual arts and music, share an affinity with Jonas’s engagement and “insistence” on reading the world(s) against and with the flow of the times. These interdisciplinary art practices, from the fields of art, dance, poetry, and music, in a similar vanguard spirit to that of Jonas, explore modes of movement, sound and non-linear storytelling.
About DHC/ART Foundation for Contemporary Art
Established in 2007, DHC/ART is a non-profit organization dedicated to the presentation of contemporary art. Housed in two heritage buildings located in the heart of Old Montreal, DHC/ART’s programming has met with critical acclaim both at home and around the world.

REVIVAL SCREENINGS – FILMMAKER AND STARS IN PERSON!
Written by Stephen Winter, Sarah Schulman, and Jack Waters. Cinematography and editing by Ned Stresen-Reuter. Production design and costumes by Bizzy Barefoot. Music by Drew Brody. With Jack Waters, Sarah Schulman, Tristan Cowen, Eamon Fahey, Tony Torn, Peter Cramer, Mike Bailey-Gates, Bryan Webster, Denise Dixon, and Orran Farmer. Special thanks to Jake Perlin.

December, 1966: Jason Holliday, a fabulous, trailblazing, but downtrodden black, gay, middle-aged hustler and aspiring cabaret performer whose life revolved around sex, good times, and narcotics was known throughout New York’s pre-Stonewall gay society and the jazz world as the hottest mess around. Shirley Clarke was Jewish, wealthy, brilliant, an Oscar-winner, and a rare female film director to gain national prominence. She invited Jason to her penthouse in the legendary Chelsea Hotel to film him telling wild stories from his turbulent life, determined to find a groundbreaking ‘truth’ in documentary. That evening resulted in Clarke’s notorious film, PORTRAIT OF JASON (1967) – hailed as a revolutionary work of documentary filmmaking – in which Jason tells stories of racism, homophobia, abuse, and prostitution, to Shirley and her partner in art and life, the riveting but troubled black actor Carl Lee, who seems to gleefully push Jason towards a tangled emotional breakdown.
What really happened that day? What was the true nature of Jason’s relationship with Shirley and Carl? And what sort of power dynamics existed between Jason and his off-screen observers? Written by its director Stephen Winter, along with novelist and playwright Sarah Schulman and filmmaker and artist Jack Waters, JASON AND SHIRLEY is graced by an astonishing lead performance by Waters that triumphantly transcends impersonation to bring Jason Holliday back to life with uncanny authenticity and immediacy. Winter’s film incorporates dreams, musical numbers, and period-specific video imagery to speculate upon what might have occurred during those 12 hours at the Chelsea Hotel, and to meditate upon the power dynamics and representational ethics that underlie documentary ‘truth.’
“JASON AND SHIRLEY is the best possible thing that could happen to PORTRAIT OF JASON. For generations of queer men of color who have been horrified by Holliday’s on-screen fate, [it] offers a reinvention of a historical moment that sought to consign them to the roles of mascots and scapegoats. Once disposable, in Winter’s able hands Holliday returns, available for reinvention.” -Tavia Nyong’o, THE GUARDIAN
“A tsunami of ideas and emotions that upends all received notions about power, race, sexuality, and art. The lovechild of Cassavetes and Spike Lee is Stephen Winter.” -John Cameron Mitchell
“That rare film that manages to be even better than its brilliant concept. Winter effortlessly balances a kaleidoscope of histories – of the avant-garde, and the birth of independent cinema, of NYC downtown, and black, and queer cultures – with cinematic lightness and razor sharp humor. One of the most original and rewarding movies I’ve seen in years.” -Ira Sachs

10. Franc Palaia, FF Alumn, launches new book, Barnes & Noble, Poughkeepsie, NY, April 29
Franc Palaia, FF Alumn, is launching a new photographic book April 29th at the Poughkeepsie, NY Barnes & Noble. The book is “Tower Music/ Musique de la Tour”. The full color book is a documentation of the ground breaking composer and percussionist, Joseph Bertolozzi’s Tower Music project where he played the Eiffel Tower as a musical instrument. In 2013 Bertolozzi and a team of seven spent two weeks on all parts of the Eiffel Tower recording tens off thousands of sounds created by Joe tapping, hitting, banging and scraping hundreds of surfaces of the tower from the summit to the underground engine room. Bertolozzi has received international acclaim from the N.Y Times, Le Monde, WNYC radio, NPR for his unique process of creating music. Franc’s book is a companion piece with the CD.

11. Andrea Fraser, FF Alumn, at MACBA, Barcelona, Spain, thru Sept. 4
Andrea Fraser. L’1%, c’est moi
Exhibition from 22 April to 4 September 2016
What do we want from art? Andrea Fraser (Billings, Montana 1965) addresses this question in her work and looks at the motivations of a wide range of cultural agents including artists, collectors, gallerists, patrons and audiences. Developing on site-specific and research-based approaches that emerged with Conceptualism, combined with feminist investigations of subjectivity and desire, her methods are rooted in the psychoanalytic principle that one can only engage structures and relationships in an immediate way, in their performance.
Associated with the practice of institutional critique, the core of Fraser’s work is a critical analysis of the art world. Her approach has also been strongly influenced by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of reflexive sociology and social fields. From this perspective, institutions are understood not only as specific organisations, such as museums, but as fields, like the art world, that encompass a range of social structures. These structures are not only institutionalised in museums and objectified in art works but are also internalised and performed by individuals. Fraser herself performs this process in her work, not by taking on the role of a specific person, but by enacting different social positions and the relationships between them. Infused with intellect and humour, her work challenges us to reflect on these different perspectives, as well as our own as participants in the field of art.
L’1%, c’est moi is Fraser’s first solo exhibition in Spain and brings together a selection of works from over thirty years of critical engagement with the art field. Organised in six permeable groupings (‘Museums’, ‘Globalisation’, ‘It’s a beautiful show, isn’t it?’, ‘Discarded Fantasies’, ‘The Personal and Political’ and ‘Collected and Archived’), it includes early works about institutional discourse such as Four Posters (1984) and Woman 1/ Madonna and Child 1506-1967 (1984); seminal works about museums including Museum Highlights: A Gallery Talk (1989) and Little Frank and His Carp (2001); to themes around globalisation in works such as Garden Program (1993) and Reporting from São Paulo, I’m from the United States (1998).
While the bulk of Fraser’s work centres on the social and economic conditions of the art world, her later works explore the underlying psychological structures of the personal in relation to the public, in emotionally charged works such as Projection (2008) and Men on the Line, Men Committed to Feminism, KPFK (1972, 2012/2014).

13. Marisa Jahn, FF Alumn, at the Brooklyn Museum, June 4, and more
CareForce One tour:
Open Engagement and Brooklyn Museum
www.studiorev.org
The CareForce One is a head-turning 1967 Mercury Colony Park station wagon modified with spectacular transmedia graphics by artist Marisa Morán Jahn that portray caregivers as superheroes. Touring this spring at museums, libraries, transit stops, and worker’s centers, the vehicle enables organizers to meet domestic employers and workers where they’re at and amplifies the voices of caregivers-America’s fastest growing workforce. Initiated as a socially-engaged public art project by Studio REV-, the CareForce One connects participants to care-work in order to help advocate for affordable and quality-care options while strengthening the socio-economic security of caregivers.
Visitors to the CareForce One can point their phones at the vehicle’s superhero-themed graphics to activate videos, animations, and danceable songs featuring the stories of caregivers and care-receivers. CareForce Toolkits distributed at stops on the tour contain information about new local and national laws concerning carework, as well as collectible playing cards that use an augmented reality app to trigger 30-second animated videos. Jahn also facilitates group dances (the CareForce Disco) using playful gestures (shaking the sheets, cleaning windows) as a way to increase public awareness of caregiving.
The CareForce One’s transmedia initiatives aim to increase public awareness of how domestic labor was rendered invisible in the United States’ earliest worker’s rights legislation. Because domestic workers were predominantly African-American at the time, caregivers were excluded by Southern lawmakers in the 1930s and ’40s from receiving the same rights as other workers. Thus, despite the fact that the labor of caregiving can be physically demanding and perilous-lifting a heavy individual out of a slippery bathtub, providing daily intravenous injections to those with bloodborne diseases, performing the repetitive motions of cleaning-the caring body was proscribed from the law. Current immigration laws likewise do not recognize the millions of undocumented careworkers who undergird the US economy.
“By presenting the caring body in public space as self-possessed, powerful and invigorated, we’re rendering carework visible,” says Jahn. “We’re countering the racial and legal injustices mapped onto the caring body. We’re inviting caregivers-paid and unpaid-to proudly identify their role as solution seekers to the nation’s care crises.”
These components-including an audionovela domestic worker app named by CNN as one of five “apps to change the world” and an earlier mobile studio (the NannyVan, 2014)-comprise the multiplatform CareForce project, displayed and performed in public spaces, universities, and museums across the United States, including artworks currently on view in the Agitprop exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum (April 7-August 14).

Other collaborators include Oscar and Emmy-winning filmmaker Yael Melamede (SALTY Features), curator and former New York Hall of Science director Eric Siegel, pioneer breakdancer Ana “Rokafella” Garcia, artists and caretakers Anya Krawcheck, Anjum Asharia, and others. Organizational partners include advocacy groups including the National Domestic Workers Alliance, Caring Across Generations, Brazilian Worker Center; arts organizations including SpaceWorks, Dancing in the Streets; and public interest law groups including the Urban Justice Center and NuLawLab.

20. Richard Serra, FF Alumn, at Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany, opening April 28
Opening: April 28, 7pm
Museum Folkwang
Museumsplatz 1
45128 Essen
Germany
Museum Folkwang is presenting the Looser Collection from Switzerland in dialogue with works from its own collection. Established by Hubert Looser, this compilation of modern and contemporary art is one of the most significant collections of its kind in Europe, comprising a large number of outstanding works of Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, Minimal Art and Arte Povera. The dialogue with paintings and sculptures from Museum Folkwang’s own collection results in many kinds of interaction; it highlights artistic concepts and themed exhibitions which are in similar veins: painting gestures, lines, processual character, materiality, minimalism and spirituality.
The Looser Collection is an ideal partner for this kind of dialogue-based exchange of ideas. The juxtaposition highlights similarities while unresolved positions are complemented by the inventory belonging to Museum Folkwang. The newly-created interaction between works changes visitors’ outlooks on the individual pieces, with shared aspects unexpectedly coming to light. The presentation is divided into five sections under the headings: Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, Abstract Painting Gestures, Process and Material in Sculpture, Minimalism and Monochrome, and Pictures about Nothing.
Spread across five rooms the dialogue straddles a broad array of topics ranging from écriture automatique to drip and action painting, from abstract painterly gestures to monochrome and concept art. Yves Tanguy comes face to face with David Smith; Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline with Sam Francis, Frank Stella, Cy Twombly and Richard Serra; Auguste Rodin and Medardo Rosso meet Alberto Giacometti and John Chamberlain. European artists encounter their American counterparts, a private passion is contrasted with the museum tradition.
Public program
The exhibition will be accompanied by a range of public and educational programs. For the dates, please visit www.museum-folkwang.de or subscribe to our newsletter by clicking here.
