Trailer from Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call, November 2011

2011-12-07T17:48:00.000-05:00

November 11-12, 2011 - St John the Divine, New York, NY

Eleven minutes of highlights from the performances at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York City. It features a cast of ten dancers, three live musicians, two multimedia artists creating virtual sets and costumes and guest appearances by visionary Continuum Movement founder Emilie Conrad and noted author, storyteller and African spiritual leader Luisah Teish. Created for the Cathedral's The Value of Water series of programs and visual art exhibit, Resonant Streams offers an experience of ourselves as water, of our interconnectedness to all water everywhere, and of our origins in the ancient primordial seas. As we as fluid systems immerse ourselves in water, we are able to release and recreate our form responsively as we connect through resonance to each other, to our ancient roots, to our planet and beyond and to creative potential.

November 2011: Hypnotik Theater Play

2011-11-13T03:53:00.000-05:00

A play by The New Stage Theatre Company

In an intimate theater, a showman clairvoyant brings his subjects to the stage and promises his audience a spectacle of “raw shame.” One by one he entrances his chosen ones, leading them to reveal their most abject and malignant drives. But when no redemptive moment follows, the audacious seer must confront his own worst visions.

2011-09-15T00:15:00.000-04:00

For a week, day after day, I have been confused by the hyper-realism of my dreams, tormented in the morning by their stories, spending the day trying to understand them and falling asleep trying to finish them. But in the next morning, I would have another story to add to the others, unfinished.

August 2011: "Is there an edge of Belief?"

2011-08-22T18:21:00.000-04:00

This month is about grants. Grants after grants after grants. Applying, trying to find the right words, the right image, the right impact, and hopefully be selected. So along the way came up some creative fruits, that I wanted to share with you. Here is the new poster of "Is There An Edge Of Belief?", one of the last pieces created by Laia Cabrera.

"Is there an edge of belief?" is a film about the relation, uncommonness and beauty of innocence-belief. Where are the limits of our understanding of the emotions, how do we relate to the others and how do we handle the differences? Through the eyes of a little girl, its the world that we rediscover, the look at adulthood is biased and share its reality with elements of fairy-telling. As the images unravel, the density of the emotion grows, the gravity changes, and we are trapped into a world that the child in us understand, still. So the shards of stories we have put together collide here, reflecting, and evolving like the act of memory itself. All objects and images are more than what first meets the eye, just as the visual imaginary evolves into a whole world of humanity. >> watch video in youtube <<

On MBF TrendTalk's "The Musical Hybrid" article

2011-08-12T13:34:00.001-04:00

Two days ago was published on MBF TrendTalk a great article on "The Musical Hybrid", featuring Alexander McQueen, Bjork, Universal Music Group, Apple and... Us. By us, I mean Laia Cabrera, Erica Glyn and me. What an honor to be associated with them!
It reviews the experience of the Record Release Listening Party of Static that occurred last month at Flux that I have mentioned in earlier posts, and our previous work together, and the impact of collaboration.

Extracts:

"Collaboration and integration are key trends not only within the fashion industry, but relevant in all businesses and professional fields. One of the latest shifts in the music world, for example, is the development of a multi-media experience, pairing visuals, music, fashion and art, to create an interactive sensory-stimulating experience for the audience. Creating what we call a “musical hybrid,” music has become more than just a song and is used more and more as a compliment to multiple media outlets, resulting in more intensified expressions of particular feelings or emotions.

[...]

Ending on a more personal note, we at MBF Trend Consulting were most inspired to write this post by the recent record launch event of musician, composer, and producer, Erica Glyn. Debuting her latest album "Static," Glyn collaborated with filmmaker and video artist, Laia Cabrera (whom we mentioned in our previous posts). Hosted at Flux Studios, a recording studio in NYC's East Village, the entire record was played first-hand on a high-quality studio sound system to a selected live audience.

Laia Cabrera and animator/ installation-maker Isabelle Duverger created a cinematic atmosphere to compliment Glyn's music. The three have been collaborating for many years, incorporating and enhancing each other's work. Together, they have crafted a special skill of bringing a profound musical and visual moment that truly penetrates the audience members, leaving the crowd speechless and mesmorized. Erica Glyn's new album is written, recorded, and produced solely by the artist, with contributions from a collection of well-respected artists.

August 2011: The Cycle of life, Macro... # 2

2011-08-07T21:16:00.002-04:00

This morning I went to check the two plants I had distanced from the others, to see if the caterpillars eventually moved. The zombie stayed put. Not an inch. I guess that's why they call it a zombie.

The second one disappear, leaving my last leave on my dear eggplant plant. That's cool. Now, looking at other plants, I found to my big surprise another zombie, that I didn't see the day before... Ok, I doubt that overnight, our "fast runner" caterpillar went to another plant, got trapped by the wasp and became a zombie. And also, I found the soil a little bit raised in some spot of the soil of my eggplant plant pot. So, reading more and more, I could be possible that I am now growing two things in this pot: eggplants and a butterfly. That one has to stay over a year in the pot to become a butterfly. We have time... Can't wait to see new leaves in the eggplant plant!

The sad news now: I found mama butterfly dead on the other side of the terrace. I guess its her because only with her wings closed, she was already 7 cm long. Huge...
So I did a little scientific torture to the poor dead mother, and I promise you, I gave her back to mother nature right after. But the picture is worth it.

Her name: Hawkmoth / Manduca quinquemaculata / THE SPHINX!!!

August 2011: The Cycle of life, Macro...

2011-08-06T16:38:00.001-04:00

Today, I found two huge caterpillars in my plants. After research it turned out to be a very rare specie, and one of the most impressive one, the Sphinx ligustri aka Privet Hawk Moth and is remarkable for its size (12 cm length and 1 cm width!!! =4.7 inches!!!, much bigger than my finger) and bright green color.

One which practically ate all the leaves of my slow starter eggplant tree. One leave left to be accurate, which should be gone by the end of the day, considering that two days ago, it had all its leaves.

Second one is on my tomato plant. But surrounded by eggs that did not look too nice in the first place but after research taught me how amazing life can be. When a caterpillar goes to a tomato plant, the tomato plant start spreading a smell that combine to the smell of the caterpillar attract wasp to put their eggs on it, and start feeding themselves from the caterpillar, transformed into a zombie. Which at the same time protect the plant from being eaten and feed a whole new generation of wasp.

I called earlier my mum to tell her how terrified I was, she laugh and told me to take pictures and post them on my blog. Since then, I read a lot, then went back outside with the telephoto lens (not too courageous still :-) and took the shots below, for your entertainment. Hoping you won't be too traumatized.

I called that one tarzan

As I was mentioning, it left one leave...

Just remember this thing is twelve centimeter long

The tail is apparently inoffensive, and the caterpillar too slow anyway.

Overall cute, some even say that it is very soft (didn't try touching it though).

They call it sphinx because of its attitude.

That one is in zombie mode.

Still had the time to eat one tomato plant before its new era as zombie!

"STATIC, is an ambitious endeavor by Erica, who began this journey in 2010 with like-minded Belgium based musician, Brice Malahude. Together the two musicians put their talent and ideas to the test by using web shares and SKYPE, passing audio files and ideas back and forth, which led to the creation of an album that truly reflects the new age of internet collaboration. Producer and recording engineer Blair Wells joined the collaboration in the back-end helping to complete it. The project also includes: Nathan Larson, Shahzad Ismaily, Jarno Van Es, Joel Hamilton, Rohin Khemani, Casey Benjamin, Leron Thomas, Dan Neustadt, Christopher Hoffman, Lyenn, Lars Jacobsen and Dave Burnett." ericaglyn.com

Created with the software eMotion

"About : eMotion is a tool created by Adrien Mondot for creating interactive motions of objects for live visual performances. Electronic motion seems often artificial, synthetic... well... in fact it does not convey any emotions. By defining new rules to create movements, eMotion is a new kind of software made for visual live animations. As it is based on real world physics law, all motions seems natural, full of emphasis. It allows to manipulate different kind of objects like still image, videos, text, drawing. Targeted mainly for theatre/dance performances, it can be used in broader situations."

2011-05-22T18:27:00.001-04:00

Water Woman, by Isabelle Duverger (pencil, felt-tip and watercolors)

Inspired by the lyrics of She Went To The River by Achinoam Nini

She went to the river, She never thought twice
She went to the river, The river of ice

She cut with her fingers, The cold river sighed
She wanted the water The water inside
She walked to the center, Unbraided her hair

Stretched out on the ice She dug into it slowly,
Methodically punching The half frozen floor
The blood from her fingers Helped warm them, but only
Until it froze over a moment,
No more
No more

The night rolled in slowly, But did not bring sleep
Her opening was only a few Inches deep
But as she pressed her head Down to the unyielding shell
She could hear the water Almost well

Morning crept in cautiously, Fearing what it'd find
A ring of clothes around on Opening of the mind
And the water humming For beneath
She is mine
And the water humming For beneath
She is mine

Noa - She Went To The River (Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor Live)

This year, the students created four denim brands, named Solista, Calibrate, R.U.D.E., and Heartland this year. They focused on fabric and product development --including fiber, yarn, fabric selection and product fit-- as well as marketing strategy, social media, and presentation development. Eighteen advisors helped with the project, and helped to create industry ready graduates who had a marvelous experience, touching and participating in every point of the supply chain.

CAN ETHICAL FASHION BE SOLD PROFITABLY?

Green fashion has been sprouting up throughout fashion lately - in shows, summits, designs, sales and campaigns. It’s obvious to anyone following the news that, whatever its ultimate significance, Green fashion is currently making changes in the fashion industry.
The Be Smart Conference is the first conference in NYC history designed to show small retailers and boutiques how to react to, and take advantage of, the Green fashion movement.

December 2010: Katrín Sigurdardóttir at the MET

2011-03-21T17:00:00.002-04:00

October 19, 2010 – May 30, 2011

"Katrín Sigurdardóttir at the Met is an exhibition of two new sculptural installations created specifically for the Metropolitan by Sigurdardóttir, an Icelandic artist (born in 1967), who lives and works in New York City and Reykjavik. Sigurdardóttir is known for her highly detailed renditions of places, both real and fictional, that often incorporate an element of surprise.

Entitled Boiseries, the installations are full-scale interpretations of 18th-century French rooms preserved at the Metropolitan Museum, one from the Hôtel de Crillon (1777-80) on the Place de la Concorde, Paris, and the other from the Hôtel de Cabris (ca. 1774) at Grasse in Provence."

"Saturday's full moon will be a supermoon.
A supermoon is a new or full moon that happens to coincide with a close approach of the moon to the earth. Saturday's full moon will be the closest it has been to Earth in 18 years, according to Spaceweather.com.
The distance between the Earth and the moon during the event will be about 221,567 miles, as compared to the average distance of 238,000 miles, according to Space.com.
That may not seem like much of a difference (and compared to the distance it's not), but the diameter of the moon is only 2,159 miles. That means the moon will be over 7.5 diameters closer to Earth than average." Huffington Post, March 18, 2011

March 2011: Closed windows is under development

2011-03-11T14:24:00.001-05:00

Closed windows is a photographic installation about history.

The pictures were all taken in Jersey City, NJ, in an area that has been abandoned first by the end of the industrial era, in the late 1990's, and now with the crisis that is hitting since 2009.
The idea, beyond the closed window, is to show what people have been trying to hide, move away from, and abandon in this temporary stage of still existing.
The scarves, sometimes cautiously made, with some artistic sense, or drafted and left then, express how our community's behavior has been trying to move on from a tragic past of theirs.

(watch trailer of the festival including extracts of Shifting Gaze)

"SHIFTING GAZE" IS A FILM AND INSTALLATION CREATED FOR
LARGE SCALE OUTDOOR OR INDOOR SPACES THAT SITS
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FILMMAKING, THEATER-DANCE,
DIGITAL ART, MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN.

Shifting Gaze” is a site specific video-art-music installation about CHOICE, DESIRE and MEMORY. Conceived and directed by Laia Cabrera (filmmaker and video-artist) and created in collaboration with Erica Glyn (Music production, composer and singer) and Isabelle Duverger (Photography and Graphic Animations). The project nature is based in creative collaboration between different disciplines.

The piece challenges self-expression and invents new forms of desire, breathing life into the medium and navigating on a new notion of choice, linked to desire and memory, choice being the present, memory representing the past and desire, the drive for a future. What we want (desire) is linked or conflicting with what is expected from us (identity, memory), and choice is the act upon which we build ourselves. Underneath these mirrored imageries lie many stories about limits, freedom and self-perception: stories of the mind.

The festival "Region Ø" will showcase the best video art pieces produced by Spanish and Latin American artists as well as Latinos living in New York. The focus will be on artists who lived or are currently living in New York, or who have a strong connection to the city. The Festival is curated and organized by Eva Mendoza and Laura Turégano.

THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS is a dark comedy or to quote the playwright a "hypercomedy" about 4 individuals caught up in "Reigen-like" relationships on their very own roads to happiness – in search of success, beauty, meaning, purpose and fulfillment.
Erna (Ragini Bhaumik), the career driven Master of Business graduate turned housewife and mother; her friend Brigitte (Margi Douglas), proud owner of a designer store; Andreas (Brady Kirchberg), Erna's boyfriend who loves the outdoors and Reinhardt (Markus Hirnigel) the neoconservative businessman.
These four protagonists are accompanied by a narrator (Stephanie Schmiderer) who in the course of the play reveals herself as Magda Quandt unveiling dormant fascist traits in the characters and drawing frightening parallels to ideology of the Third Reich.
