DEAR MARCIA VETROCQ

REGARDING: REPLAY THE ATTITUDES EXHIBITION

I WAS MOST IMPRESSED BY THE CARE & ATTENTION GIVEN TO THE WORKS & THE ATTEMPT TO RE-CREATE A PHYSICAL MISE-EN-SCENE WITHIN THE AMBIANCE OF THE ORIGINAL INSTALLATION

ATTEMPTING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS EXHIBITION BECAME SUCH A BENCHMARK FOR THE 20TH CENTURY WHEN IN FACT THE LASTING RESULTS OF THE SHOW ARE MORE ABOUT THE DYNAMICS OF THE MELDING OF ARTISTS THAT FOUND THEMSELVES IN THE MIDST OF OTHER ARTISTS WITH A MINDSET THAT ALLOWED FOR COEXISTENCE       LEADING TO WHAT WE TODAY KNOW AS THE INTERNATIONAL ART WORLD

THE WORKS THEMSELVES HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE CULTURE       THE AMSTERDAM EXHIBITION OP LOSSE SCHROEVEN HAD PRECEDED BERN       GALLERISTS WERE SHOWING MANY OF THE ARTISTS

BERN AT THAT MOMENT GAVE A MAPPING TO A COSMOS

BEST REGARDS

I REMAIN

Migratory patterns: Sasha Waltz's recent works

by Ivan Talijancic

OCT 2018 | Dance

It is a brisk late-August day in Berlin and I am at the Radialsystem V, the former water purification plant flanking the banks of the river Spree, which the choreographer Sasha Waltz and her longtime collaborator and partner, the dramaturg Jochen Sandig, converted into a multipurpose art venue a decade or so ago.

Migratory patterns: Sasha Waltz's recent works

NOV 2018 | Dance

It is a brisk late-August day in Berlin and I am at the Radialsystem V, the former water purification plant flanking the banks of the river Spree, which the choreographer Sasha Waltz and her longtime collaborator and partner, the dramaturg Jochen Sandig, converted into a multipurpose art venue a decade or so ago. Though I have visited the space on numerous occasions in the past, the spacious lobby, as well as the expansive performance hall of Radialsystem, seems almost unrecognizable, having been stripped of the usual vestiges of a performance venue. I am here to see EXODOS, a new immersive dance-theater work by Waltz, and to speak with her about her company’s upcoming US premiere of Kreatur, which lands at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in early November as part of the Next Wave Festival.

MILTON AVERY:
Early Works on Paper + Late Painting

by William Corwin

APR 2018 | ArtSeen

Avery’s reductionist approach is seductive; he is not a believer in the imponderableness of infinity and instead chooses a localized vision of the world.
