| CAKE
- (COLLECTING ACTION AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EVERY DAY) w.i.p. video/performance installation Ann Carlson & Mary Ellen Strom Opening Reception: 6 – 8 pm Friday & Saturday (April 8th & 9th) 12 - 8pm 131 Beekman St (corner of Beekman & Front St, near Fulton St. Subway) in the South Street Seaport Free! MIX is proud to kick-off with a Work-in-Progress look at Cake a new site-specific video and performance installation being developed by video maker Mary Ellen Strom and choreographer Ann Carlson, installed in a 5,000 square foot empty retail store on the corner of Beekman and Front streets at New |
York City’s South Street
Seaport. Using video projection, site, and performance, Cake explores
the source-to-use trajectory of the apparel industry; presenting the labor,
the environmental impact, and the economic/ethical complexities that face
contemporary consumers. The overall installation design for Cake exploits
the material and psychological strategies of retail marketing that construct
consumer desire and subverts this by bringing the laborers (or their video
presence) in direct relationship to the consumer/spectator, thus exposing
the entire process and revealing the scale of its impact. Cake is being co-presented by MIX18 and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council: MOVE Residency. |
