Événement

Matthew Mottel & Edwin Torres
g e o d e s i c   l i n g u i x ; Charas as Infinite Thought Object


The history of dome building on the Lower East Side goes back to when CHARAS built domes in collaboration with Buckminster Fuller in 1972/73. Syeus Mottel documented this effort in his photojournalism book CHARAS; THE IMPROBABLE DOME BUILDERS, first published in 1973 and now re-published in 2018 by Song Cave Press & Pioneer Works.

On 1.9.19, The Poetry Project, will stage a performative action between artist, and researcher Matthew Mottel and poet Edwin Torres. Torres has been an active member of the Loisaida community since the 90s, where hes performed his lingualisualist poetics, rooted in sight and sound, at many iconic venues. Mottel, has been a member of the experimental arts community of New York City since the late 1990s.

In interviewing Chino Garcia (co-founder of CHARAS), Matthew was told that one of the domes CHARAS built in the 1970s was portable and used as sites for experimental performance. In this spirit,Mottel and Torres will perform in and around a Geodesic Dome built inside the Poetry Project.

Mottel will screen a documentary video on the history of CHARASs dome building activity. And Torres will perform from his recent book, XOETEOX: THE INFINITE WORD OBJECT (Wave Books) within a sonically & visually-charged geodesic environment.

As the finale of the evening, the two will collaborate in and around the dome. This event will further expand the narrative of CHARASs original dome actions, to pair with contemporary performance and poetics, and to champion new forms with new content.
