Congrats to PS122 artists Annie-B Parson, John Kelly & Coco Fusco for being awarded the 2012 USA Fellowship grants for outstanding artists.
Annie B Parson recently choreographed and co-directed our Fall hit ICH, KÜRBISGEIST, A harsh, quasi-medieval locale facing destruction is populated by a community speaking a rigorous, specific, and completely invented language.
John Kelly is a long time PS122 artist and Ethyl Eichelberg award recipient whose most recent work was 2011’s The Escape Artist, about a trapeze artist stranded on a gurney in a hospital emergency room for 15 hours with a broken neck.
Coco Fusco (shown in photograph above) is a visual and performing artist whose piece A Room of One’s Own, an unflinching examination of the expanding role of American women in the war on terror, was performed in 2006.
