October Events and News!

Hi All,
Fall is here (FINALLY)! And along with the cooler weather, we have some pretty cool events coming up:

Tonight is Brent's opening for "Tidal" in its final form. If you saw the preliminary draft at Monkeytown last year or at the SPINEsalon last month, you're in for a real treat. He's added sound by the incomparable Alan Sondheim and some stunning visual effects. You can catch it in all of its very large and loud glory at Greenpoint Gallery as part of the BIG GUNS! group show, and all weekend as part of Greenpoint Open Studios. The opening is tonight though and the party lasts 'till 2AM! We will only be there opening night because...

After we take a moment to catch our collective breath, we will be announcing the new SPINE and Vietnam Fund collaboration, Lotus and Lightning on October 24th at the annual Vietnam Fund Fundraiser. Please save the date, for there will be much gorgeous art, yummy nibbles, and equally yummy wine. A slew of info will be headed your way after our art excursions, including project website, trailer, and ways you can support this project and the children who will benefit from it.

Ummmmmm...

I was working on a long overdue project (do I have any other kind?) with Allen where he tells stories on the streets of Brooklyn, when I had an idea. Of course this new idea HAD to take precedence. The way the edit of the story itself shaped up made me think about using everything I had cut out, a negative image of the story using just the footage pre and post talking.

Well, I put it together and here it is. A reverse image of a story:

Impromptu Gathering!

You are invited to join us at the SPINE house this Sunday the 5th for the unveiling and discussion of video work, film, photography and works in progress from exciting new and established artists. There will be wining, grilling, music and dining. Feel free to bring something special to throw on the grill, or the projector, or something special to drink.
We will be answering the door around 4PM and we will stop answering the door on Monday. Drop by if you're in the 'hood. Email for directions: kristen.spine@gmail.com

In other news:
I'd like to plug the Dancenow/NYC Festival which starts next week and runs September 8-11. This festival is a true heralding of the New York City fall dance season. This year 40 of NYC's most innovative choreographers are taking the Dancenow Challenge to "say more with less." Cory Nakasue will be sitting on the panel this year and help decide on one choreographer who's going to win some amazing opportunities to create and share more work.

That's all folks! Enjoy these last gasps of summer...*gasp*
