The world premiere of NOTATIONOTATIONS marks a first-time collaboration between renowned multimedia artist Susan Hefuna and contemporary choreographer Luca Veggetti. A dance performance staged over three nights, this piece posits that if a line is the trace of a point in motion, then the human body moving through space is also a drawing inserted into the four-dimensional space of the observed world. The event will open and close with a new video installation by Hefuna of a bustling, lower Manhattan intersection. On the gallery floor Hefuna will execute an expansive web of chalk lines, her actions also captured on film and screened while Veggetti's dancers gradually erase the drawn surface through their repetitive, physical gestures. The result is its own form of choreographic documentation. A selection of Hefuna's multilayered, ink-on-tracing-paper abstractions (on view in the Drawing Room gallery) builds upon the labyrinthine floor drawing in the Main Gallery, and documentation of the live performance will be presented in the lobby. Produced by Brett Littman, Executive Director, and Joanna Kleinberg Romanow, Assistant Curator.
