Opening this Friday at @80WSE for “Seasonal Affective”. Entrancing, rarely exhibited videos selected from the catalog of @electronicartsintermix Featuring Charles Atlas / Merce Cunningham, Stephen Beck, Forcefield, Maggie Lee, and Chris Marker. Join us in traversing autumnal and brumal time.

Opening reception Friday, November 10th 6–8PM

Seasonal Affective culminates with a rare presentation of Coast Zone (1983), a beautiful collaboration between Merce Cunningham and Charles Atlas originally shot in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. A hypnotic meditation on camera movement and dance choreography, the film features a composition by Larry Austin performed by John Cage, Martin Kalve, Takehisa Kosugi and David Tudor, setting the dancers to minimalistic percussion and quiet voiceover repeating the word "discordance."
