On June 4, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum opens two additional galleries to complete its presentation of the full-rotunda exhibition Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance.
Much of contemporary photography and video seems haunted by the past, by the history of art, by apparitions that are reanimated in reproductive mediums, live performance, and the virtual world. By using dated, passé, or quasi-extinct stylistic devices, subject matter, and technologies, such art embodies a longing for an otherwise unrecuperable past.
The Wooster Group will present its first benefit artauction on the occasion of its 35 th Anniversary. Dubbed 'The Wooster (Support)Group', the event will feature live and silent auctions of contemporary art.

½ Life constructs a contemporary ritual to address our dormant nuclear nightmares and investigates the survival of the body amidst a world of scientific research, data, and control. The performance swims across the Pacific Ocean and unites performers from nuclear superpower USA, atomic survivor Japan, and nuclear free New Zealand and teams them with a physicist to understand the physics of nuclear power. Data is translated into movement; scientific distillations of reality add up on a chalkboard. 1/2 LIFE will have its run from February 10-14.

1/2 Life by BodyCartography Project investigates the survival of the body amidst a world of scientific research, data and control. The performance hovers geographically at the edges of the Pacific Ocean - connecting nuclear super power U.S.A., atomic survivor Japan and nuclear free New Zealand. We will construct a contemporary ritual to address our dormant nuclear nightmares. Dance and video artists Olive Bieringa and Otto Ramstad bring together an extraordinary collaborative team including composer and harpist Zeena Parkins, visual artist Emmett Ramstad, physicist Bryce Beverlin II and performer Tamami Yamada. Performances are from January 38-30, 2010.
