PHILIPPE PARRENO: H {N)Y P N(Y} OSIS
In his largest installation in the U.S. to date, Parreno continues his interrogations into the radical redefinition of the exhibition ritual. Within the monumental interior of the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, he will construct a scripted space where a series of events fold and unfold onto the space itself, creating an architecture of attention on a scale of operatic proportions.
June 11 - August 2
TREE OF CODES
Award-winning choreographer Wayne McGregor, artist Olafur Eliasson, and Mercury Prize-winning producer/composer Jamie xx create a new ballet triggered by the book Tree of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer, an artwork in the form of a book which was in turn inspired by Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz. This new, evening-length work features a company of soloists and dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet alongside Company Wayne McGregor.
September 14—21
LAURIE ANDERSON
Iconic performance artist Laurie Anderson expands upon her work with storytelling and technology in her latest artwork, creating a site-specific environment that uses telepresence to examine memory, monuments, and prohibited space. Open to the public during the day, the installation serves as a meditation on time, identity, surveillance, and freedom. The evocative setting is also activated at night with a celebratory performance and dance party with Syrian singer Omar Souleyman, including a new sonic composition created by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs with Anderson.
October 2—4
GOLDBERG
Igor Levit, who made his impressive North American recital debut at the Armory in 2014, interprets Bach’s towering keyboard masterpiece Goldberg Variations in an installation created by seminal artist Marina Abramovic. Having redefined what performance art is for nearly 40 years, she now reimagines the concert-going experience by creating a concentrated durational work that reflects upon music, time, space, emptiness, and luminosity, with the audience becoming a part of the work to connect with themselves and with the present — the elusive moment of the here and now.
