Tour | Williamsburg Street Art Tour
Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheat pasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.

Discussion | A 21st Century Originale by Karlheinz Stockhausen'
The New York premiere of Karlheinz Stockhausen's music-theater work Originale in 1964 caused quite a stir. Under the direction of Allan Kaprow, a veritable who's-who of the avant-garde appeared together in the German composer's response to the Happening, while a splinter group of downtown artists staged a picket against "ruling class art," generating nearly as much attention. The panel revisits the conversation sparked by this moment in time, on the 50th anniversary of the New York premiere of Originale.
Panelists:
- Andrew Lampert, artist and filmmaker, Anthology Film Archives
- Sophie Landres, art historian, Stony Brook University
- Alexandro Segade, participating artist, member of My Barbarian and Courtesy the Artist

Dance Performance | No Such Thing as Neutral: Discussion and Dance Performances
Countless forms of dance created and performed in public spaces are bundled under the umbrella of “vernacular” or “street.” These diverse methods have been widely recognized for their emphasis on improvisation, “informal” teaching methods, and the central role of marginalized communities of color in their production, yet they are often figured primarily in opposition to traditionally valorized forms of ballet and modern dance in scholarship and popular culture.
With this project, Ali Rosa-Salas highlights movement-based artists who engage notions of subjectivity and materiality of the body in their work while utilizing the technical formalities of Abstraction. NO SUCH THING AS NEUTRAL celebrates Flex and Lite Feet, looking at their evolution and the indelible impact they have had in the contemporary dance world. Join leaders in the dance community for a lecture demonstration, discussion, performance, and a Lite Feet versus Flexing cypher in partnership with Rep Your Style.
