Ten Years Alive: On Nature and Our Supplements, In poems and in pictures
Today, we approach Nature cautiously, altered by highly refined drugs. We ingest, inject, imbibe various medications and pharmaceuticals supplements to keep the body alive, awake, attuned to ever changing bodily states. All ducks are dabblers. Sunrise and shadows falling across the forest floor, waves upon the shore beach walks and park prowling our pockets filled with pills; tote bags carrying vials, syringes or bottles; news reports of bee colony collapse, icebergs melting, plastic patch growing, atmospheric turbulence, ocean temperatures rising... Where's the awe?
Organized by Gregg Bordowitz with Ari Banias, Corrine Fitzpatrick, Malik Gaines, Alexandro Segade, and Lynne Tillman.
Ten Years Alive on the Infinite Plain a two-month festival celebrating ISSUE Project Room's 10th anniversary revisits seminal past projects and initiates new relationships with over 60 artists working across disciplines of sound, dance, performance, and literature. Presented as a series of 24 evenings of provocative double billings, Ten Years Alive blurs the boundaries between divergent disciplines and practices and celebrating the vibrancy of the Brooklyn experimental arts community.
