Kelly Nipper, then and now
By Jennifer Piejko
On Wednesday, January 30 and Thursday, January 31, Performa artist Kelly Nipper presents a newly commissioned performance at the Museum of Modern Art. Kelly Nipper with Japanther: Tessa Pattern Takes a Picture will explore the processes of photography, the influence of choreographer Mary Wigman, and Laban Movement Analysis, just as much of her previous work has moved seamlessly between photography, video, installation, movement, and personal history.
This Tuesday, September 11, “Performance Now: The First Decade of the New Century” opens at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. The exhibition, curated by Performa’s RoseLee Goldberg, brings together some of the most important and exciting performance artists in practice today, examining the ways that the ephemerality of live work is transformed into altogether new art works through documentation, and how visual artists use performance throughout their creative process.
Performance is capable of activating museums and audiences like no other medium, and this program demonstrates that performance is not only contemporary, but the art of the future as well.
“Performance Now” also includes a series of lectures and film screenings; more information is available here.
