PS122’s Coil 2017 Festival

PS122’s Coil 2017 Festival
January 3 – 22

Performance Space 122’s Coil Festival explores the vitality of live performance in New York City through contemporary artists from diverse genres, cultures, and perspectives. Full of inquisitive and dynamic work created locally, across the US, and around the world.

“We don’t present objects, static fixed ideas. These are living, breathing, complicated, flawed and wonderful experiences. Profound and unpredictable. Difficult.

There’s a rightful push for the work that we do to better reflect the society of ideas and people from which we spring. Sometimes we get this right, and sometimes we also push back when we’re told to make the work do something predictable, something certain. The potency of the work that PS122 presents comes from the fact that it should give you back the power to create its impact.

I am very proud that in my final year of Coil, PS122 again shows off its artists’ interdisciplinary chops – from the entirely constructed world of VR through a theater created purely of object, light and sound to visceral, confronting and raw movement.” – Vallejo Gantner, Artistic Director

Umyuangvigkaq: PS122 Long Table and Durational Sewing Bee

January 8 – 11:30AM-6PM

at Ace Hotel New York, 20 West 29th Street, Mannahatta (Manhattan)
Co-hosted with Emily Johnson/Catalyst and Ace Hotel New York
FREE; Reservations Recommended

Let’s create a just and equitable world. Let’s spend some good time together doing so. Let’s chew our words, share them, listen. Let’s be okay when we don’t know. Let’s be supple and brave in our questions and our findings.

Umyuangvigkaq is a place to gather ideas. Here we will recognize and celebrate indigenous people, artists, art, methods, and audiences. We will stitch together a quilt of conversation, ideas, and fabrics. We will acknowledge indigeneity as we work to indigenize the performing arts world and the world at large.

Come with ready hearts. Come all day or for a stitch. Every 2 hours we’ll shift a conversation to a new critical topic engaging the intersections of the Indigenous with contemporary American culture. This durational sewing bee underpins a large-scale experiment in public engagement and sewing culminating in an all-night, outdoor performance event in 2017, Then a Cunning Voice and A Night We Spend Gazing at Stars, created by Emily Johnson/Catalyst.

Long Table: Art + Technology

PERFORMANCE SPACE 122’S LONG TABLE SERIES

Long Table: Art + Technology
Tuesday, November 29th at 6:30pm
At TED Conferences, 330 Hudson St, 11th Floor in Manhattan
In partnership with Kickstarter and TED
FREE

What is the responsibility of the arts and technology sectors in creating a richer and more equitable arts landscape? Where will we find ourselves 10 years from now as we think about the rapid development of experiential technology and beyond?

About the Long Table Series:
Performance Space 122’s Long Table Series facilitates meaningful discussions between civic-minded New Yorkers connected by the ideas and questions surrounding New York City’s generative culture. Used as a tactic by think tanks, the startup community and the cultural sector, the Long Table format was first developed by director and scholar Lois Weaver as an experiment in participation and public engagement. The Long Table format is a dinner table atmosphere where all voices are encouraged to ask questions, make statements, leave comments, or simply sit, listen, and watch.

While the format doesn’t require a group conclusion, consensus, or action points, individual participants frequently walk away with a new perspective, a renewed direction for their work, and, most importantly, connections that foster collective growth surrounding each topic. ps122.org/long-table

Public Showings: June 8 & 9 @ 7PM

Lauren Slone is an artist who places the body/motion at the center of image-creation. She holds an M.F.A. in Dance Performance and Choreography from Florida State University, where she was a Ballet Lecturer, MANCC Arts Administration Fellow, and conducted choreographic research in Spain, Paris, and Israel. Since 2012 Wassaic Art Festival, Church of Saint Paul the Apostle (NYC), Movement Research at the Judson Church, Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center (2015 Work Up Artist), and The Palladium Theater have presented her work. Recently, she was awarded a Lillian E. Smith Center residency, collaborated with Kordal clothing line, and co-produced BEACON, a new performance series for St. Petersburg, FL.

miLES is a civic startup, comprised of designers, architects, event producers, social entrepreneurs and real estate professionals committed to activating urban neighborhoods as canvases for pop-up entrepreneurship. We provide entrepreneurs, creatives, brands, and neighbors with accessible space, talent, and tools to realize their visions within physical spaces. Inspired by and started in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, miLES enables the connection between people and spaces across neighborhoods of different cities, near and far. Together we transform underused storefronts to create new ways to work, shop, play and collaborate.

Since starting operations in April 2013, we have enabled 100+ pop-ups ranging ranging in length from 1 day to 6 months. The function and style of the popups have been as diverse as the people creating them. Past pop-ups include: a Teen art salon, the Museum of Beautiful People, Polpo Gelato Shop, Design Taco, Skillshare Classes, the Strangers Project, a brand showcase for Reebok, a non-profit photography exhibit, a Small Business Merchant Workshop, a sewing workshop, a short film festival, a Thai Supper Club, a Brunch Club, a chocolate & cookies shop, sample sales, an all-ages makerspace, a holiday gift shop, the Jack Kirby Museum, an indies electronics shop, a multi-storefronts neighborhood activation, and more.

We are all about prototyping, experimenting, and utilizing spaces as a way to collaborate and test new ideas. We’re on a mission to cultivate a culture of doing as well as to enable individuals, small businesses, and private and public entities alike to diversify the use of commercial real estate in our neighborhoods and cities, one storefront at a time. We use short-term uses as a means for long-term action. We believe cities are made vibrant through active participation and we work to enable people to make their marks and realize their visions within the physical spaces that make up urban neighborhoods.

Lauren Slone is commissioned by Performance Space 122 as part of a RAMP 2016 residency with support from the Jerome Foundation, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.
