Ethan Crenson
December 12th, 11am
Location: KORZO: 667 5th Avenue, between 19th and 20th
Ethan Crenson presents another look at the impact of Cold War politics on American pop music with records from his personal collection. His sermon on Sunday December 12th will look at Nikita Khrushchev as he was portrayed in rock and pop songs from the late 50s and early 60s. From his role filling the void of America’s official enemy after Stalin’s death, to his shoe banging at the United Nations, to his role in the Gary Powers incident and Cuban Missile Crisis, Khrushchev cut a very unique figure in the American imagination that played out in some distinctly goofy songs. Hear some of them Sunday the 12th at cHURCH OF MONIKA.

I would like to share my work in progress, a children’s book that recognizes propaganda and allows the child to toggle between multiple types of propaganda/perspectives/realities. I’m developing this as an iPad application. I use the children’s book as a medium for my artistic projects.
Raghava KK gave an inspiring talk at a recent TED conference.

“Inside the museum it was hot, and inside the butterfly conservatory – a kind of internal greenhouse – hotter still, tropical hot, the glass panels steamed with condensation. We took off our winter coats and carried them bundled in our arms. Around us, in artificial yellow light, organisms were bursting into terrible life. Jagged leaves, spiky fronds, cracking chrysalises. It was fantastic and also strangely macabre, to see such growth and greenery in the middle of this winter city.
The butterflies were not as abundant as I had hoped, though. From the description on the museum’s website, I’d pictured the air thick with them, a swath of brilliant wings on every surface. Instead they floated, in their haphazard, jerky way, over the leaves and flowers, and clustered around feeding stations, unrolling their obscenely long tongues to drink the man-made nectar. Butterfly, of the order Lepidoptera, from the Greek words for “scale” and “wing.” Known for their unusual life cycle, their many metamorphoses: Egg, larva, pupa, adult.”
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The Expression of My Emotion: A Darwin’s Quest for Her Evolution is a genealogical mystery tour into my lineage – my quest to discover the men and women who made me, and the worlds in which they lived. It’s a way of honoring the legacy of my great-great-great grandfather, Charles Darwin, by actually countering his fame and influence. After all, everyone has sixteen sets of great-great-great grandparents. What of “the fifteen others” – my antecedents who, while they may not have come up with a world-changing scientific idea, contributed to my existence and physical being just as much as Darwin? The heart of the book is an inquiry into self: how did I get here, and what ideas, physical traits, and cultural values have been passed down to me from my forefathers? Using my genealogy and Darwin’s theories as a framework, I weave in and out of family lore and history, using my own childhood memories and present day experiences as a way of accessing the rich stories of the past.

As an artist working in both dance and video, I use the irrational logic of the body to articulate personal, cultural, and socioeconomic, forces that impact our perception of self and environment. Physically demanding, dense and visual, the resulting works reflect not only a desire to participate rigorously in the world of ideas, but also an interest in twinning a variety of forms and metaphors into visceral immersive performance experience.
Deborah, the wrong place at the wrong time
October 3rd, 11am
Deborah, the wrong place at the wrong time is a story about love and crime located in New York, the city of unexpected hopes. Lou Hoyer, Maximilian Thiel (Berlin) and Raphaela Riepl (Vienna) started this book project by accumulating their own feelings in collective drawings, which grew under the influence of pulsating city life in New York. In combination with text fragments, the collected and arranged drawings come to life and are readable in every way.
Manuel Sander
September 26, 11 am
Several years ago, S. H. and I were discussing a photograph I’d taken. He asked me to articulate what was on my mind when I took the image. “I like green,” I replied. He said that wasn’t enough. I said “Yes, it is.”
Manuel Sander is a graduate from the School of Visual Arts, MFA Photogaphy and Related Media Program, class of 1997. He lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife, the artist and videomaker, Stefanie Koseff. His images can be seen at www.manythespaceman.tumblr.com.
