JULY 24TH - FIELD OF DREAMS IN PROSPECT PARK

FOR MORE INFORMATION

===== DEMATERIALIZE! (Beyond the Zero) =====

==== March 5, 2010 6-10pm ====
 

**at RECESS (41 Grand St)** A one-night event exploring the role of human behavior in the construction of meaning in art. This collaborative performance will attempt to replicate an early study on human behavior. The experiment brings together the work of John Watson, Thomas Pynchon and Barnett Newman to establish a theory of behavioral relations. By examining the structure of behavior we can foster an understanding of our own internal order. The event builds on **[[http://march1904.blogspot.com|an online investigation]]** that considers behavior modification as a form of social sculpture. The project was initiated by Stephen Wuensch.
===== EDIFYING =====

**//Edifying//** is a series of performative lectures organized by Beatrice Gross.

In the lineage of Robert Morris’s 1964 performance entitled //21.3// where the artist lip-synched a film of art historian Erwin Panofsky’s 1939 lecture, this series presents a selection of contemporary performance-lectures concerned with the dramatization of knowledge and its dissemination. 

So far, //Edifying// has featured performative works by Ellie Ga, Pablo Helguera, Christine Rebet, and collaborative Slavs and Tatars.

===== PHILOSOPHY OF MOTION PICTURES II =====

**Wednesdays from 7:30 – 10:30pm**
 
This course investigates the content and structure of films, using methodologies and concepts culled from linguistics, psychoanalysis, semiotics, anthropology, and continental philosophy.  We familiarize ourselves with, and evaluate the major issues and debates within film theory while critically engaging with films from a socio-historical context that rigorously confronts the heterogeneity of meaning, interpretation, and authorship.  Along the way, we also consider relevant issues in narrative theory and literary texts.

===== COBRACLASS =====
 
**Cobraclass** is a multi-part program that considers aesthetic principles and philosophies relating to deskilling, repetition, excess, mimicry, censured gestures, fragmentation and ritual. The main goal of this open structure is to nourish the terrain for an event. The project will involve group work with clay, actions and films, bringing together a series of seemingly un-related concepts and ideas. The duration of the bulk of the event itself can be undetermined like a Lacanian session. It could result in a series of sculptures and a film. How the end result could be made public should be discussed by the participants before and after the end of the interactive session. 

Organized by Sarina Basta, Simone Leigh, and Karin Schneider.

For more information, contact **<sarinabasta@gmail.com>**. 

=====COMMUNITY COOKING CLUB=====

** Wednesday, June 30th from 7:00pm to 8:30pm **


Part cooking class and part art/food seminar, participants will talk about different ways to engage food in art and in life. Our first class will look at the history of artists using food as a medium, as a community binder, as a fundraising resource, and as a point of sensory information in a creative space.  We will then prepare and eat simple and summer-appropriate recipes that participants can make over and over again to bring to community events like potlucks, parties, picnics, etc.  

$7 to participate.

Bring an apron if you've got one.

Organized by Tracy Candido.
