Terpsichore in Sneakers (Shop)

Terpsichore in Sneakers — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 05:46:30 -0500

In Greek mythology, Terpsichore () (Τερψιχόρη) "delight of dancing" was one of the nine Muses, ruling over dance and the dramatic Greek chorus. She lends her name to the word "wikt:terpsichorean" which means "of or relating to dance". She is usually depicted sitting down, holding a lyre, accompanying the dancers' choirs with her music. She is sometimes said to be the mother of the Sirens by Achelous. Her name comes from the Ancient Greek words τέρπω ("delight") and χoρός ("dance").

Afterall (Organization) - London, United Kingdom

Afterall — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 13:47:29 -0600

Afterall is a nonprofit contemporary art research and publishing organisation. It is based in London, at Central St Martins College of Art & Design.

The journal Afterall was founded by curator Charles Esche and artist Mark Lewis in 1998 (issue 0 came out in 1999). Each issue focused on the work of four artists, presenting two in-depth essays for each artist. In 2006 Afterall incorporated AS (Andere Sinema), a journal previously published by MuHKA, the museum of contemporary art in Antwerp, which became a publishing partner, and in 2009 the International University of Andalucia, Seville also became a publishing partner. From 2002 to 2009 the journal was co-published with the California Institute of the Arts, with Thomas Lawson as a co-editor.

In 2006 the journal widened its remit to include not only essays on artists themselves, but also contextual essays on the political, social and economic issues that surround contemporary art, and retrospective looks at key artworks, events and exhibitions. Examples of these include an analysis of Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen's Riddles of the Sphinx from 1977 ('What Does It Mean to Say Feminism Is Back? A Reaction to Riddles of the Sphinx, spring 2007) and Sandi Hilal, Alessandro Petti and Eyal Weizman's proposals for architecture in Palestine after Israeli decolonisation ('The Future Archaeology of Israel's Colonisation', spring 2009). The issues at this point (2007) went up from being published twice a year to the current rate of three times a year.

In 2006 Afterall instituted two series of books, the Readers and the One Works. The first Reader was on Eastern European art and was edited by the Slovenian art collective IRWIN; subsequent books have brought together essays on art and social change and art and the moving image. The One Works series looks at single works of contemporary art in an extended book-length analysis, and directs focus on the art object (or performance) itself.

In 2010 Afterall will launch Exhibition Histories, a series of books focusing on key international exhibitions of contemporary art since 1955.

Julian Barnett (Choreographer) - Brooklyn, United States

Julian Barnett — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:12:54 -0500

Julian Barnett is a New York based choreographer, teacher, and performer. Seeking to define his innate curiosity of undiscovered physical art, Julian began choreographing in 2005 and has since shared his interpretations internationally.

Known for his highly physical and original works, Julian received a sold-out premiere season at New York's Joyce SoHo Theater in 2006. His first duet (FLOAT) originally premiered at the introductory La Mama Moves Festival and was then invited into the repertory of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Hubbard Street II and performed by The Juilliard School. He has received commissions from Danspace Project (SOUND MEMORY), SUNY Purchase (ECHOLOGUE), Duo Multicultural Arts Center (PIANO ROOM), Dance New Amsterdam (ORIGIN) and has been presented by Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Movement Research, PS 122, Dance Theater Workshop, Symphony Space, Joyce SoHo, Joe's Pub at the Public Theater and internationally in China, Germany, Canada, Austria, and Mexico.

As a teacher, Barnett seeks to push through physical and psychological boundaries to reach authenticity and full potential. He has taught master classes at numerous universities and international conservatories and has been a guest artist at the Kassel State Theater (Germany), Dance New Amsterdam, as well as both the Florida, West Virginia and Bates Dance Festivals.

Born on an US Air Force base in Tokyo, Japan and transplanted to his native California, Julian spent his childhood studying maps, playing the guitar and breakdancing. Inspired to articulate his body through performance, he found a mentor in Jean Marie-Martz at the Idyllwild Arts Academy, who taught him how to move with ballet shoes on. Continuing exploration at the Joffrey Ballet and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Julian went on to begin influential collaborations with Wally Cardona, Larry Keigwin and Johannes Wieland, where he danced alongside Pina Bausch Tanztheater. Other key artists Julian has worked with include: Lar Lubovitch, Eun Me Ahn, Doug Elkins, Kevin Wynn, Shapiro and Smith, and Doug Varone with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet.
