The intensity of each mark depends on how many physical repeats I have done, but the strongest bodily memories were born in the hands of the kind of choreographers who have also opened the landscape of my mind and in that way opened different shades of my performing. Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin and butoh artists Yoshito Ohno and Akaji Maro are some of the most recent artists that have influenced my work. The limitless world of bodily imagination and relentless curiosity to investigate all the possibilities it offers were some of the things I learned when I was working with Ohad. While studying with Yoshito and also watching the performances of Akaji Maro my perception of time and the way I sense it passing by through present moment developed towards interesting

Installation view of Head Shop Exile is one of Berlin's most exciting young galleries - founded by Christian Siekmeier in 2008, and now run in partnership with Robin John Berwing, it has offered a steady exhibition schedule since its inception, along with an ambitious 'Summer Camp' program, a series of group shows cum happenings that offer a spirited alternative to the typical art opening. For their latest, Exile invited NY-based artist and publisher (of the cult magazine, Straight To Hell) ,Billy Miller, to put together two concurrent shows. One, titled 'Lost Horizon', is inspired by the iconic novel and film of the same name, explores American Western archetypes through the lens of loss, while the second, 'Head Shop', owes its conceptual roots to legendary bohemian boutiques like London's Granny Takes a Trip, offering a crowded 'selling floor' full of work that explores the rich possibilities of the mind.

  • THE-MARK-HOTEL-ASVOFF-March-19
    March 19, 2014 The Mark Hotel in New York By Glenn Belverio and Diane Pernet Dear Shaded Viewers, One can't imagine a better place to hang up one's mantilla after a long day of fashion film organizing and hosting. The Mark on New York's Upper East Side, just an Akoya pearl's throw from Central Park, is "New York's most boldly lavish hotel." It certainly lives up to that claim. Three nights in a cavernous suite, complete with two bathrooms and a well-appointed living room, with a show-stopping Jean-Georges restaurant only an elevator ride away, is the sort of relaxing respite one needs amidst the hustle and bustle of this often unforgiving city. The Mark is housed, as it has always been, in this beautiful 1927 landmark building. But as is a luxury hotelier's wont, the inside has been transformed with a design aesthetic that is at once soothingly modern and brazenly futuristic. http://ashadedviewonfashion.com/blog/mark-hotel-new-york-glenn-belverio-and-diane-pernet ASVOFF producer-at-large David Herman also stayed at The Mark. Hailing from Paris, it was David's first visit to NYC--and he told me everything lived up to his expectations (!) The Mark's interiors were conceived by renowned French designer Jacques Grange. (His rather impressive client list includes Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld and Caroline, Princess of Monaco.) Known for his striking modernity and theatrical flair, Grange has created public spaces for The Mark that engage and delight. Not only did he oversee and design the furnishings, Grange also collaborated with Parisian design gallerist Pierre Passebon to comission a host of objets d'art, furniture and light fixtures, specially created for the hotel by renowned artists and artisans, including Ron Arad, Vladimir Kagan, Mattia Bonetti and Paul Mathieu.

    2017 THE NORDIC COUNTRIES MADE IN 2017 NO BORDERS We in the arts can take centre stage and show that the ability to collaborate is one of the finest things in humanity, and is crucial for our survival. The Nordic countries have a long-standing tradition of working together, and the MADE IN project, its catalogue and website, is a small yet great example of that. Artists, leaders and promoters in the performing arts from five countries have come together to jointly present their information on what they are all doing right now and in the near future. This is the fifth edition, and for the first time, we’ve decided not to list the catalogue by country, as we chose to fully commit to our manifesto for no borders between Nordic performing arts organisations. You are all welcome to start your communication with any of us, as in front of you is a network of fearless artists not unlike their Viking ancestors.

  • A Ballet of Two Cities
    A BALLET OF TWO CITIES 1st Flash brings Elo’s decisive and cunning choreography to Jean Sibelius’s music. The work has been in Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s repertoire since 2007. BY ORI J. LENKINSKI | MARCH 1, 2019 17:37 CAYETANO SOTO’S ‘Human Rojo.’ (photo credit: ROSALIE O’CONNOR) Nearly every day, Jorma Elo walks into rooms filled with dancers. As a world-renowned choreographer, he does this and has done it in dozens of cities for as many companies for many years. And yet, the magic of this simple fact, of being in the room with dancers continues to move Elo. “Being together with these wonderful, physical, animal instruments called dancers that dedicate their lives to a short career and want to dance and be on stage... I’m blown away by that every day. Even if the day is cranky, I go home and I feel blessed that I’m sharing time with these wonderful creatures. That’s what my work mostly is and if I make a compelling ballet that we can share with the audience, that’s an extra bonus,” says Elo over Skype. Elo, 58, was born and raised in Finland. His father was a urologist, and his mother a dentist. Elo’s journey to become one of the magical creatures he so cherishes happened completely by chance. “My sisters were into modern dance, Graham and Cunningham,” explains Elo. He laughs at the memory of it. “It was in the ‘70s and it was a trendy physical activity to do. There was no Pilates or yoga or spinning classes, so Cunningham and Graham was the thing to do.

    Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 6, 2012 The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announces Nordic Cool 2013 International Festival of Theater, Dance, Music, Visual Arts, Literature, Design, and Film To Highlight Culture of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden As Well as Territories of Greenland, the Faroe and Åland Islands In Ticketed and Free Events Throughout the Kennedy Center February 19 – March 17, 2013 (WASHINGTON, D.C.)—From February 19 to March 17, 2013, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts presents an unprecedented festival highlighting the culture of the Nordic countries— Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden—and the territories of Greenland, the Faroe, and Åland Islands. Continuing the Center’s tradition of producing renowned international celebrations by curating traditional and contemporary expressions of theater, dance, music, visual arts, literature, design, and film, this Festival will also explore the interplay of themes central to Nordic life, such as nature, technological innovation, environmental sustainability, entrepreneurial spirit, and youth culture. Seeking to answer the question of what is “Nordic,” this Festival aspires to offer clarity on a region of the world whose dynamic culture and creative economy have seemed elusive to many, particularly in America. By exploring the region’s cultural diversity, the Kennedy Center aims to foster an appreciation of the Nordic heritage, and an understanding of the region’s emerging global influence. In addition to the performing arts, New Nordic Cuisine will be highlighted in the Kennedy Center’s restaurants and demonstrations by the region’s renowned chefs will be featured on the Millennium Stage.
