Judy Rifka is known for her "good hands." In painting parlance, the term connotes not just skill, but a quality of touch that eludes almost everyone, including artists. Rifka, adept at riveting movement on the canvas, is equally plastic with her use of materials; neon-intense colors suggest contemporary "internet safe" hues, and digital video; 360 stretchers defy method. With great admiration for the brazen new structures being built around the world today, Tere O'Connor looks to concepts of adaptability in contemporary architecture as source for Rammed Earth. The new evening-length work brings into evidence the shifting layers of architectural reference in dance. Welcome to Nowhere (bullet hole road) is a hybrid of stage and cinema. During the performance, a constant stream of video is projected above the cast. In scenes of prolonged silence, stillness and impassivity, doppelgangers of the characters we meet onstage navigate this hyper-real cinematic landscape as if lost in a dream. Genovina is a self-taught artist and 10-year Long Island City, Queens resident. Her recent work is characterized by a careful building process-slowly exposing the subjects in the paint that are often not quite human in form, but altogether human in sentiment. |
