Opening reception: Friday, January 29, 6-8pm :: Curated by Matthew Lyons :: New York-based artist Amy Granat draws from the legacy of experimental and abstract filmmaking to create new approaches in 16mm film and video at the limits of personal and narrative cinema. Using Paul Bowles’ novel The Sheltering Sky as a point of departure for this exhibition, she creates an immersive environment of projected images, which substitute the narrative thrust of literary fiction with a more subtle exploration of character and place through landscape, light, and gesture. :: Exhibition Hours: Tues-Fri, 12-6pm; Sat 11-6pm :: FREE :: www.thekitchen.org
Known for his deeply intelligent, wildly funny productions, Bessie Award-winning choreographer David Neumann attempts to dance his brain on stage in his newest work BIG EATER. Using dance and theater to examine the way patterns can reveal themselves across phenomena, Neumann grounds his experimental approach in autobiography, weaving and colliding the disparate elements that make up a life: suburbia’s proximity to nature, drunkenness, 1980s TV stardom, synthetic biology, 19th century ballet, and the end of the world.
BIG EATER is a multi-disciplinary dance-based work for the performers Natalie Agee, Andrew Dinwiddie, Kennis Hawkins, Neal Medlyn, Weena Pauly and Will Rawls. With video by Richard Sylvarnes, lighting design by Dave Moodey, projections by Bryna Lieberman, costumes by Kaye Voyce, sound design by Katie Down with additonal compositions by Stew.

In this evening of new music, pianist/composer/singer Thomas Bartlett brings together two of his ongoing collaborative projects. First Bartlett will perform with Nico Muhly as their duo project, Peter Pears, including collaborative compositions and two-piano performances of Colin McPhee's gamelan transcriptions. Then Bartlett performs material from the recently released Doveman album, The Conformist.

This solo exhibition presents the US premiere of Leslie Hewitt’s most recent investigations in photography, sculpture, and site specific installation—that explore her long-standing interest in non-linear perspective and early twentieth century notions of double-consciousness. Known for a practice that traffics in a realm between the sculptural and the photographic, and riffs on political, social and personal material in order to expand confining narratives, Hewitt’s current proposition evokes similar concerns. Using Claude Brown’s Harlem migration text Manchild in the Promised Land (1965), as a point of departure, Hewitt creates visually elegant and thoughtfully composed situational works that question the contemporary moment through the exigencies of time.

Following the critically acclaimed, Obie Award-winning first installment of Jay Scheib's performance trilogy Simulated Cities/Simulated Systems, The Kitchen presents the world premiere of part two, Bellona, Destroyer of Cities, a new theater work based on Samuel R. Delany’s celebrated science fiction novel Dhalgren. Scheib combines passages from the novel with original material, movement sequences, and live video to trace several intertwining plotlines driven by a group of characters with shifting identities. Set in a city after a cataclysmic event, Bellona, Destroyer of Cities draws on the labyrinthine world imagined by Delany to express the intricate and at times abstract delineations of race, gender, and sexuality today.
Featuring performances by Sarita Choudhury, Caleb Hammond, Mikéah Ernest Jennings, Jon Morris, William Nadylam, Tanya Selvaratnam, April Sweeney, Natalie Thomas, and Greg Zuccolo; Scenic Design by Peter Ksander; Costume Design by Oana Botez-Ban; Sound Design by Catherine McCurry; Lighting Design by Miranda k. Hardy; Video and Photography by Carrie Mae Weems and Jay Scheib; Assistant Director: Laine Rettmer; Tour Producer: ArKtype/Thomas O. Kriegsmann; Produced by Tanya Selvaratnam; Conceived and Directed by Jay Scheib.
