You Are Here Artist talk and star gazing at BAM

A personal tour of the stars with the littlest star gazer

You Are Here Artist Talk and Stargazing

Next Wave Art presents a conversation between Ken Nintzel and Holly Shen Chaves, curator of visual arts at BAM that explores the evolution and fabrication of You Are Here, Nintzel's sculptural series of life-size constellations.

This unique installation offers audiences the opportunity to experience both the sculptural and celestial versions of the night sky's mythical characters in tandem with one another. 

After this tour through Nintzel's virtual stellarium in the Lepercq Space guests on the rooftop of the BAM Fisher with telescopes and guidance provided by astronomer Summer Ash and Columbia Astronomy Public Programs. Space is limited.

The Rite of Spring: Introduction

Reenacting the painting techniques of Kazuo Shiraga at AUNTS/CATCH 2.22.13

On February 22, 2013 I took part in

 AUNTS/CATCH at The Invisible Dog in Brooklyn

Where I reenacted the foot painting techniques of the Japanese action painter Kazuo Shiraga

Who painted with his feet

and swung by a rope allowing him to move around the canvas freely

Shiraga was part of the Gutai Art Association who believed the process of making was more important than the finished object

This action was the first in a series entitled (Re)action
which reenacts historical moments in action painting.
