His latest work, "A Bit of Dirt," features an operatic video installation based on avant-garde Polish writer Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz's Isatiability. Moskowitz's employment of projection suggests a Lacanian, pre-mirror stage of identity, where there exists a fluidity of boundaries and "You" cannot easily be distinguished from "I." More generally, A Bit of Dirt implicates all of us, who, like Moskowitz's characters, sit comfortably on our evening couches and critique the current state of affairs without engaging in concrete action.
Today we are thrilled to present the second playlist of Amrita Hepi’s Soothsayer Serenades series as part of the Notes for Tomorrow exhibition.
In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
