Screening | The Adventures of Manboy and Bushie: Time-Traveling Detectives: Screening and Talkback


A screening of 2023 Baxter St Artist-in-Residence, Tatiana Florival’s, film, followed by a talkback with video artist Linda Ryan. In The Adventures of Manboy and Bushie: Time-Traveling Detectives, two brothers go on a Space-Time Mission instead of being drafted to the Vietnam War. In this work, Florival pointedly draws on her grandfather’s Black American experience by riffing on old Western films. The work recalls her grandfather’s love for watching Westerns, while also critiquing the genre’s inherent racism and colonialism. For the artist’s grandfather, watching the films ignited a desire for an imagined, ahistorical past. In the suspended reality of The Adventures of Manboy and Bushie, Florival’s grandfather reaches toward that desire to insert himself into any time or place, existing without violence, while black, throughout the history of America. In this extended cut, viewers will be able to watch the full narrative plot of the film, and follow Manboy and Bushie through their origin story, and various adventures through time.

Performance | Two Person Operating System Type 2: Performance Art


A sculptural-choreographic work evolving the collaboration between Martha Friedman and Susan Marshall. Working with industrial objects and materials such as rubber and metal, dancers activate sculptures in complex patterns, probing preconceptions of the material boundaries of the body. The patterns of action and design explore the tensions between work and product, danger and intimacy, absurdity and purpose, soft and hard, in and out—complicating expectations of clear, binary contrasts often raised in gendered conversations about physical bodies. In this iteration of Two Person Operating System, the second in an ongoing series of works from sculptor Friedman and choreographer Marshall, two towers of metal tubes are each capable of supporting metal spikes and rotating in place. Long, fleshy rubber ropes are inserted, spooled and twisted through the sculpture and to the surrounding architecture by dancers engaging with the objects and each other in a series of methodical tasks performed with workerly precision.
