Dance Performance | Dance: Liz Glynn's Utopia or Oblivion


Liz Glynn will present a two-part performance. Inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s faltering geodesic dome experiment of 1948, Glynn will attempt to re-create this project successfully. Fuller had gathered a group of his students at the avant-garde Black Mountain College to erect an architecturally scaled geodesic dome structure based on his models. Despite its actual failure, this experiment eventually led one of Fuller’s students, Kenneth Sneleson, to develop the principle of tensegrity, which allowed Fuller to create functional geodesic structures at a large scale. The first part of Glynn's performance will be a loosely choreographed, silent re-enactment of the original event, performed by ten dancers in forty minutes. Additional performances will be staged in several locations around New York City over a number of days, leading to a second event - a participatory and collaborative effort. In an experiment in group dynamics and collective building following the principles of tensegrity, up to twenty-five people will volunteer to assist in the successful building of a geodesic dome. Drawing on traditions of building as performance and utopian design, the project seeks to explore the relationship between human scale and iconic monumental form.

Talk | Artist Klaus Schafler discusses his Climate Manipulation Station


Climate Manipulation Station is the artist's ongoing art project focusing on geo-engineering—large-scale technologies that “hack the planet” to slow or even reverse climate change effects, as by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using synthetic trees or reducing solar radiation by seeding clouds to reflect more sunlight. Schafler is joined by his collaborator, Klaus Lackner, who speaks about his scientific work on the synthetic tree as a means of addressing global warming. Klaus Schafler is a Vienna-based artist who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and the School for Artistic Photography in Vienna, with the Faculty of Economics at the University of Graz, and with Facolta di Scienze-Politiche, Messina.

Discussion | Four Women, One Revolution: Inside Egypt’s Tahrir Square Protest


Almost nine months ago, protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square brought down the regime of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. From the beginning, women activists fought on the front lines, organized marches and demonstrations and played a leading role in the struggle against authoritarianism. Human rights activist Shima’a Helmy was at the forefront of the revolution from the start. Joined by award-winning filmmakers Marie-Helene Carlton and Micah Green of Four Corners Media, Helmy discusses the way she came to join the protests, women’s contributions to the revolution, the role of online networks and social media, and the way these events have transformed Egyptians’ attitudes. The speakers also screen their mini-documentary, Four Women, One Revolution, and discuss their current project, If, a full-length documentary film focusing on the coming of age of four young women during the revolution. A reception follows the screenings and discussion.
