[Frameworks] Looking/Talking: a Live Cinema Improvisation with Stephanie Barber at Microscope, MON 2/24, 7pm

[LBurchill]

Mon Feb 24, doors 7pm, admission $6, artist in person.

Microscope Gallery us very happy to welcome artist and writer Stephanie
Barber, in town from Baltimore, for a night of live, improvisational
"cinema performance". The event marks the first New York performance of the
artist's ongoing project "Looking/Talking". In this work, Barber armed with
her video camera records a live feed of herself looking through photographs
and other images and responding to the spontaneous memories through stories
and poetics, inquiry and silence, sorrow and jokes. The work is related to
the artist's current project with Bonnie Jones called "New Collaboration in
Translation and Aliveness" as well as readings she has given for her book
"Night Moves", all of which are spoken improvisations.

"Some years ago I was inspired by David Antin's talk poems and have wanted
to push myself to this scary space of unpremeditated improvisation. I am
using the photographs and my lifelong obsession with photographs (both as
an art object and a memorial alembic) as a diving off point for my words
and silences." -SB
