still from Household Revisted: Peaceniks & Treehuggers
HOUSEHOLD REVISITED: PEACENIKS & TREEHUGGERS
Screening & Discussion: Sunday, June 8, 6-8 pm
Outpost is pleased to present a video screening and discussion of Household Revisited: Peaceniks & Treehuggers, a project about movement and ideology by Robby Herbst, by Robby Herbst, produced in conjunction with Allan Kaprow-Art as Life, on view at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA from March 23 through June 30, 2008. Peaceniks and Treehuggers is an event that occurred at a "lonesome dump out in the country". As per Kaprow's direction, there were no spectators, only participants. Originally an action dialogue between the Men, the Women and the People, for this version participants were asked to help re-write elements of the score by personifying with dress and movement world peace or environmental transformation. The happening included hands on workshops with choreographer Hana van der Kolk. The outcome will be presented as a film that documents the day-long event.
With:
Steve Anderson, Karl Erickson, Hector Gallegos, Charles Irvin, Cynthia Lee, Genevieve Liang, Carol McDowell, Tom Mckenzie, Jill Newman, Hana van der Kolk, Kimberly Varella, Sergio Zenteno.
