About

People And Mannequins is a collection of photographs taken since 2001 by Rada. With an emphasis on portraiture in either a studio or street environment, the series is a reflection on human relations, self-discovery and understanding.  Black-and-white and color photographs some of which have been published in the hard cover book Best of Photography are included in the exhibition.

Rada studied the fundamentals of photography with Peruvian photographer Fernando LaRosa and continued to develop on her own.  Although rarely shown publicly, her work has been published in the annual hardcover photo book Best of Photography twice: in 2002 when Rada was awarded an honorable mention in Photographer’s Forum Magazine contest and in 2011 when her photo was a finalist from 14,000 entries and 82 countries in the same contest held for 31 years. In December 2011 Rada participated in a group show presented by the AC Institute in Chelsea.

April 20, 2012  at 5:30pm until April 21 at 10:30pm

After the Fall: Multichannel video installation by Boryana Rossa in collaboration with Oleg Mavromatti

EMPAC, Studio 2

April 20 – April 21, 2012

Opening reception is on Friday, April 20, 2012 from 5:30-8:30pm. Also open for viewing Saturday, April 21, from 7-10pm.

This multichannel video installation by Boryana Rossa (in collaboration with Oleg Mavromatti) examines gender performance in film after the Cold War through re-enactments of scenes from chosen cinematic works. These films are from USSR, Russia and Bulgaria and cover the period from 1920s to the end of the 2000s. By reading these films through the lens of contemporary theory, the artist seeks to understand what are the essential transformations of gender concepts in post-socialist countries. The reenactments are from well known films like “Circus” 1936, “Daisies” 1967 and lesser known titles like “Monday Morning” 1967, “Ladies Turn” 1987; “Hammer and Sickle” 1994, “Mission London” 2008 and “Miracle” 2009. The channels of the video show both the original scenes and the re-enactments.

The work also explores gender performance cross-culturally, situating the research in a global context. For instance the actors who participate in the reenactments are from the US, which integrates issues of cultural translation into the process. The characters are interpreted through the cultural and political prism of each of the participants. The process of creating this project relies on a critical exchange of thoughts and notions, where re-enactment is perceived as interpretation, rather than a copy of the chosen scene. Finding commonalities, rather than cultural differences is the goal.

The theoretical and historical research behind this work is part of Rossa’s dissertation for the RPI doctoral program in Electronic Arts.

“WHO IS GOING TO BLINK?”

„Кой Ще Да Мига” (премиера)

Хореография, Текст и Изпълнение: Елисавета Йорданова и Сюзан Томасон

Музика: Тед Пилцекер

Дата: 28-ми април, 2012 – 20.30ч.

Място: Грийн Спейс Студио, 37-24 24-та улица, #301

Лонг Айлънд Сити, Ню Йорк 11101

Билети: $15

Могат да бъдат закупени на вратата или онлайн на www.GreenSpaceStudio.org

Тази творба напомня атмосферата от годините на Студената Война, надпреварата за въоръжаване и напрежението между Изтока и Запада. Хореографите Йорданова (България/САЩ) и Томасон (САЩ) използват личните си спомена за ерата на страх и подозрение, които доминират световната сцена по онова време. От перспективата на техните гледни точки от двете страни на Стената, „Кой ще да мига” преплита шпионажа, пропагандата и политическата параноя. Учени да гледат едни на други като на врагове, двете хореографки търсят общото човешко начало между Изтока и Запада чрез текст и движение. От личното към политическото, „Кой ще да мига” е поучителен разказ за нашето време – покана за взаимно разбирателство между страните.

Програмата включва и „Lemon Meringue Go” (2009) – трактат, вдъхновен от техниките и трудностите на печенето на пайове. Представете си как Джулия Чайлдс би преподавала тайните в печенето на пайове чрез танц. Солото е посветено на бабата да Томасон, която е била известна със своя талант на сладкар.

Йорданова също ще представи „Воля” (2009-2012), в който три жени чрез три рокли, разкриват вътрешните и външните си преживявания да приемат, създават, развиват. Творбата е от части вдъхновена от силата на жените, участвали в Арабската пролет и тяхната борба за свобода.

Танцьори: Албена Керванбашиева, Доун ДиПаскуале и Елисавета Йорданова

Музика: Розана Уайнбергер (виола), Георги Арнаудов и традиционна музика от близкия Изток

Костюми: Криси Велева и Маргарита Гаврилова

“WHO IS GOING TO BLINK?” premiere

Choreography, Text and Performance: Elissaveta Iordanova and Susan Thomasson

Original Music Score: Ted Piltzecker

Date – April 28, 2012  @ 8:30 pm

Place – Take Root series at Green Space Studio 37-24, 24th Street, #301

Long Island City, NY 11101

Tickets $15

Available online – www.GreenSpaceStudio.org or at the door

The piece evokes the atmosphere of the Cold War years, the arms race and the tension between West and East. Choreographers Iordanova (BG/US) and Thomasson (US) draw on their memories of the era when fear and suspicion dominated the world stage. From their perspectives on both sides of the Wall, “Who  is Going to Blink?” weaves together espionage, propaganda and political paranoia. Taught to view each other as enemies, the choreographers discover the common humanity between East and West through text and movement. From the personal to the political, “Who is Going to Blink?” is a cautionary tale for our times – a call for mutually assured understanding between countries.

The program also includes “Lemon Meringue Go” (2009), a whimsical treatise on the techniques and pitfalls of pie-baking. Imagine Julia Childs teaching baking through dance. The solo is an homage to Thomasson’s grandmother and her legendary baking skills.

Iordanova will also present “Volition,” (2009-2012), in which 3 women, through the character of 3 dresses, reveal their inner and outer experiences of accepting, emerging and evolving. The work is inspired in part by the power of women involved in the Arab Spring and their search for freedom.

“Volition” involves the following artsits :

Dancers: Albena Kervanbashieva, Dawn DiPasquale and Elissaveta Iordanova

Music: Rozanna Winberger (viola), Georgi Arnaudov and Near Eastern Traditional music

Costumes: Krissi Veleva and Margarita Gavrilova
