SUMMARY:On Location with Artichoke Dance | Robin Michals
DESCRIPTION:On Location with Artichoke Dance is a solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based photographer Robin Michals. Curated by Pam Wong\, the exhibit showcases photographs of Artichoke Dance Company performing the Immersive Performance Tours of Gowanus conceived by Lynn Neuman in 2021\, and co-hosted annually with various environmental and social justice organizations. The photographs on view feature Artichoke dancers moving through Gowanus in space and time and include images at the defunct Salt Lot in 2021 and the new 420 Carroll Street development in 2026. Michals merges the genres of dance photography and urban landscape photography in vibrant shots that capture the performances as well as the evolution of the neighborhood. The photos juxtapose the dancers as they work together to create patterns and shapes against a backdrop of the transforming waterfront. The photos offer an interpretation of the performances as a positive vision of urban life that values art\, collaboration\, and environmental awareness. In addition\, there is a portrait of Neuman\, in costume\, on the tipping floor at SIMS Municipal Recycling\, taken for Michals and Neuman’s collaborative project Waste Side Story. Michals and Neuman met in 2018 through a residency offered by Works on Water and Underwater New York on Governors Island. Michals\, who had been working on environmental issues for 15 years\, was struck by Lynn’s upcycling of plastic bags into costumes\, and the pair began to work together to make images of a dancer wearing the costumes at locations that reflect the lifecycle of plastics from production to various end points including landfills and oceans. Several of these images were exhibited at The Old Stone House in 2021. Robin shifted her focus to dance photography after the pandemic\, starting with her work with the Times Square Project in 2020 and 2021. For Robin\, photographing the Artichoke Dance tours is an incredible opportunity to bring together her longstanding love of urban landscape photography and her much more recent\, but no less profound\, love of dance photography. —————- ON LOCATION WITH ARTICHOKE DANCE On view Saturdays: Sept 12\, 19\, 26 and Oct 3 from 1-5pm ON LOCATION WITH ARTICHOKE DANCE Programs: Sept. 12 (2:00–2:30pm): Video screening of Immersive Performance Tour Highlights: 2021–2026 with Artichoke Dance Company Sept. 12 (2:30-4:30pm): Join a guided tour using the Gowanus Augmented Reality Walking Tour App featuring animated virtual environments of the past as visual overlays on the canal-scape\, as well as the Underground Waterways Soundwalk where voices from the past murmur and sing\, led by Sarah Drury\, Project Director. iPads and headphones provided\, or download to your iPhone.
