Shaw Foundation. During their years working with artists, Brooklyn Academy of Music President and Executive Producer Harvey Lichtenstein and Producing Director Joseph VlYlelillo noticed that visual artists and performing artists do not conceptualize performance space in the same way. This difference is the inspiration behind Artists in Action. Last year, in its first season, this program showcased works by Vito Acconci, lIya Kabakov and the team of Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel. Though each artist chose their own collaborators and produced works of varying tone and scope, all three productions demon­ strated that when you ask a visual artist to conceive and direct a staged work, certain long-held assumptions fall to the wayside, and a new set of challenges appear. A surprising anxiety for the makers of the mesmerizingly beautiful piece was the passage of time within the performance. Utilizing the projection of the single blink of a human eye, Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel's Interim: after the end and before the beginning dealt with the perception of time in daily life. "Before Chandralekha [their collaborator] came we were all worked up about 'What's going to happen?'" says Jones of her and Ginzel's project with the Indian choreographer at the Queens Museum of Art. "I mean, forty minutes is a hell of a long time!" The concern for Vito Acconci and The Mekons (who have experience in performance) was more a matter of "what kind of time would happen in that space." A sort of deconstructionist art-rock opera performed at the Dia Center for the Arts, Theater Project for a Rock Band utilized one of the great "instruments" of contemporary performance art-Acconci's voice-to weave its sardonic storytelling magic through The Mekons smart-rock riffs. Ilya Kabakov found that working to the rhythms of a viewer who sits in steady attention is a far different task than forging an object or installation where the viewer will come and go as he or she pleases. "When I am working on an installation, the most important thing is to condense an atmosphere" says Kabakov, "...the challenge here was to preserve the atmos­ phere and transfer it into the show so that it wouldn't disappear and would actually hold the show together." The result of his collaboration with choreographer David Dorfman and composer Vladimir Tarasov, The Flies: A Musical Phantasmagoria, was not really a performance at all, said Kabakov, but more "an experience of an artwork in a theater." This year's artists, each with their own finely developed aesthetic antennae-AlbertChong (photographer and installation artist), Jene Highstein (monumental sculptor) and Rona Pondick (installation artist)-have been working on their respective collaborations for the past nine months, encoun­ tering and resolVing their own sets of challenges. Yet, since the power of Artists in Action is not just the abstract work but its production in a specific performance space as well, even these artists themselves don't really know what they have made, until of course, it is presented. And so to view these collaborations is more than just the experience of another BAM event, it is witnessing the very moment of innovation itself. -Thyrza Nichols Goodeve The Brooklyn The Brooklyn Academy of Music, America's oldest performing arts center, Academy of Music was founded in 1859. After its first presentation in 1861, BAM quickly became the center of Brooklyn's cultural life. Since its inception, BAM has been committed to presenting the finest in traditional and contemporary performing arts, presenting many national and international artists, often in their New York and national debuts, in the fields of dance, music, theater, music-theater, and opera. Today, under the direction of President and Executive Producer Harvey Lichtenstein, BAM's commitment is two-fold: to artists of international stature and an artistic vision that encompasses the newest forms in the performing arts; and to the Brooklyn community, with programming for the borough's diverse population. The Brooklyn Museum The second largest art museum in New York State, The Brooklyn Museum has an encyclopedic collection of approximately 1.5 million objects, which range from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary art, that repre­ sent almost every culture. The Museum is located on Eastern Parkway at Washington Avenue in a 450,000 square foot Beaux-Arts building designed by McKim, Mead and White that is a New York City landmark and on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. Snug Harbor Cultural Snug Harbor Cultural Center is a major visual and performing arts center Center located at an historic nineteenth century site once known as Sailors Snug Harbor, a retirement home for "aged, decrepit and worn-out sailors" on the North Shore of Staten Island. The Cultural Center's assets include 28 -buildings and 83 acres of parklands set within the New York City limits. The site includes eight performance spaces, four art galleries, fifty artist studios, three dance studios, three assembly halls, five residential cottages and acres of open space. Snug Harbor is home to nineteen resident organizations, including the Staten Island Children's Museum, the Staten Island Botanical Garden, and varied smaller organizations. Along with its core of interdisciplinary programs, Snug Harbor provides year-round discipline-based programs in the performing and visual arts as well as related education and humanities activities.

He has refined and developed these simple, evocative forms in a variety of media, from Performed by black and white drawing to sculpture in cast iron, wood, glass and fabric.

His work is represented in numerous museum collections including The Lighting design by Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Museum Trevor Brown of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim Museum. He has also created major public works for outdoor sites including Music composed the Laumeier Sculpture Park in St. Louis, MO and Rutgers University. & performed by Jane Wang Over the past fifteen years, performance artist Hanne Tierney has developed her own "theater without actors." Taking the avant-garde's concept of abstrac­ Narrated by tion to its logical conclusion, Tierney isolates movement and gesture as the Frederick Ted Castle essential elements contributed by human actors. By using materials such as fabric, rope and pipe to articulate gesture, she attempts to focus the Sculpture fabricated by attention of the audience on the gesture rather than on the incident that it Gene Flores describes, allowing the gesture to become a universal expression. Tierney presented her version of Chekhov's The Seagull in New York at the Set &elements Sculpture Center Gallery (1995) and The Flynn Gallery (1993). She performed constructed by Stein's A Play Called Not and Now at the Henson Foundation International Pablo Narvaez Festival of Puppet Theatre at the Public Theater (1994) and in Lodz, Poland (1990) and Maeterlinck's The Intruder at the Guggenheim Museum.

(March 12, 2009) – Rona Pondick: The Metamorphosis of an Object opens at the Worcester Art Museum on April 18, 2009 and is on view through October 11, 2009. Rona Pondick Muskrat 2005 H: 10 inches (25.40 cm) W: 12 ½ inches (31.75 cm) D: 4 5/8 inches (11.68 cm) Since achieving international prominence in the early 1990s, Rona Pondick (b. 1952) has become one of the most accomplished sculptors of her generation. Over the past decade, she has combined both ancient sculptural methods and the latest computer technologies to produce a powerful group of hybrid sculptures that fuse human and animal bodies or human and flora forms. Unlike other considerations of her sculpture, this exhibition presents Pondick’s art as the lens for looking at centuries of world sculpture from the collection of the Worcester Art Museum that she feels resonate with her own creative process. Provocative juxtapositions of Pondick’s hybrids with a personal selection of historic sculptures illustrate her connections to the past and her understanding of the effects of artistic cross-fertilization. The exhibition features 14 examples of Pondick’s sculptures from the past decade and focuses on her particular interest in three aspects of sculpture—the communicative capacity of gesture and posture, the treatment of hair, and the effects of repetition.

    MARC STRAUS NEW YORK RONA PONDICK Opening Reception: October 24, 2018, 6:00pm – 8:00pm On View: October 24 - December 16, 2018 MARC STRAUS is pleased to present our inaugural solo exhibition of Rona Pondick, featuring a new body of work five years in the making. Pondick’s new works feature semi-transparent clear blocks encasing her head rendered in brilliant contrasting color. The heads appear in various orientations, sometimes even floating partway out of their evanescent domain. The blocks have subtle contours and worked edges, paying fealty to the sculptor’s hand. They are made from resin, acrylic and an epoxy modeling compound; new materials for Pondick who experimented endlessly to achieve a harmony of form, color, and emotional depth. One indelible quality of the new work is the use of sonorous color. Each work features a dominant hue and no more than four different colors, for which Rona Pondick, Encased Yellow, 2015-2017 the work is titled. These are intimate and yet powerful works that shift with Pigmented resin and acrylic 10 1/16 x 11 3/8 x 11 1/2 in (25.6 x 28.9 x 29.2 cm) our positioning. In the floor pieces, Pondick’s head is atop a small body-like form. In Curly Grey (2016-2018) a head with texture so much like skin, rests upon a mass that looks as if it is made of jumbled packing peanuts. Below, two forms, perhaps feet, stick out cheekily as though this figure is struggling to get up. From the tilt of Sitting Yellow (2013-2018), one asks the question is the figure resting or incapacitated? The authority of these sculptures very much resides in our apprehension of their psychological dynamics ─ our own fears, hopes, and history become poignant.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993
    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.
