2. Patricia Miranda, FF Alumn, summer/autumn news
Summer into fall, workshops, exhibitions, residency….
The summer has been busy, with a month in Europe, Italy for the Crit Lab Residency and a Walking Art Conference in Spain, where Christopher Kaczmarek led a “walkshop” with walking artists from all around Europe.
This August in beautiful Cape Cod I will lead a workshop for artists on mapping the creative process. I’ve taught this in academic environments – it’s an intensive, hands-on, active exploration of studio strategies.
Mapping the Creative Process
Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill
August 22-26, 9am-12pm.
Is your artistic map a drawing? A list? A collection of images or objects? Join me for a week-long intensive workshop exploring and deepening your methods for thinking through artistic projects from idea to realization. This workshop will explore the overlapping concerns of map-making and art-making. Artists are cartographers who explore spatial, temporal, and material possibilities in every form and media….read more
Bonus- Chris Kaczmarek is offering a Labyrinth Workshop the same week. Join both and walk a deep creative journey. Christopher will also build a public labyrinth at Castle Hill. All are invited to help.
August 22-26, 1-4pm.

Circus Amok
Saturday, August 13
Begins promptly at 2pm
Cortlandt Alley
In conjunction with our current exhibition Attention Line, the radical New York City circus and theater troupe Circus Amok makes its triumphant return with its first new show since 2018 at Artists Space in Cortlandt Alley on Saturday, August 13th at 2pm. The show is free and open to the public.
Witness as a beleaguered band of circus performers flee fire and flood, transphobia, misogyny and more, seeking refuge in the arms of New York City. But…will they find it?? Find out for yourself when you attend Circus Amok’s back-alley political queer extravaganza!
Expect stunning stilters, jaunty jugglers, astounding acrobats, drag queens, nerd bots and more…danger, glamour, glitter, beware!! The show’s star-studded cast includes Becca Blackwell, Jules Skloot, Claire Dolan, Stephanie Woods, Pher Gleason, Lex Alston, Kym Bernazky, David Guzman, Zo Williams, and Kali Therrien, with the infamous Circus Amok band directed by Jenny Romaine and featuring Ben Meyers, Jessica Lurie, Mary Feaster, and Lee Free, and a set designed by Scotty Heron.
Dedicated to confronting contemporary social justice issues since 1989, Circus Amok began presenting one-off performances at P.S.122 before inaugurating their annual free outdoor shows in 1994 in small neighborhood parks and well-traveled public squares in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Their outlandishly funny, politically feisty, joyously queer one-ring spectacles combine traditional circus skills–tight rope walking, juggling, acrobatics, stilt walking, clowning–with experimental dance, lifesize puppetry, improvisational techniques and live music. Essential to their performances is a fervent, energetic addressing of timely political themes, which in recent years have included housing, health care, gentrification, gay marriage, immigration, the Department of Homeland Security, police brutality, police stop-and-frisk policies, and public education. Circus Amok’s gender-bending performance art expands the notion of what a circus can be for its public, and creates inimitable physical and verbal spectacles that invite the audience to envision a more empowered life of community interaction and equanimity.
Jennifer Miller, the director and founder of Circus Amok, is an Obie, Bessie, and Ethyl Eichelberg award winning playwright and performer who has worked with alternative circus forms, theater, and dance for over thirty years. As a dancer, Miller has performed with Cathy Weis, Jeff Weis, Jennifer Monson, John Jasperse, Johanna Boyce, Doug Elkins, and They Won’t Shut-up among many others. Miller is a professor of performance at Pratt Institute.

11. Barbara Rosenthal, FF Alumn, now online in Whitehot Magazine, and more
Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art just published a long article with interview by Greg Stewart about Barbara Rosenthal’s “Provocation Cards” project, and upcoming Aug 12 “Provocation Cards Interact, NYC 2022” performance in front of David Zwirner Galleries on W. 19 and W 20th St. https://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/rosenthal-about-provocation-cards-project/5485
The opening Editor’s Note reads as follows:
On August 12, Barbara Rosenthal will perform “Provocation Cards” on the sidewalks in front of Barbara Kruger’s show at David Zwirner Gallery, in Chelsea, NYC.
This “free ideas” low-tech give-away of high concept philosophy is Rosenthal’s tenth iteration of the piece, in multiple languages and locations around the world since 2005. When she performed the interaction in 2009 as the United States representative to Tina B: The Prague Contemporary Art Fair, the catalog noted her stand-out phrases in comparison to other text artists’ “deep pockets, shallow thoughts.”
Whether or not the performance of this date and time is a direct challenge to Barbara Kruger’s extravaganza inside Zwirner Gallery, distributing Rosenthal’s insights and humor among anyone hoping to be enlightened in there will be in for an unexpectedly mind-expanding afternoon. This interview about Rosenthal’s project was conducted in 2017, and published for the first time now.
