Video | Oscar Muñoz’s 2003 Video Re/trato Projected on the Side of a Building


Colombian artist Oscar Muñoz’s 2003 video Re/trato will be projected on a building to the east visible from the park’s Seating Steps, as well as the sidewalk. One of Colombia’s most influential artists, Oscar Muñoz has created an impressive body of work that investigates memory and history, and the ways both intertwine with our contemporary society. Here, Muñoz presents a video in which you see the artist painting a self-portrait on a concrete sidewalk by using a brush and water. The hand continuously paints as the portrait evaporates, creating an endless drawing. Reflecting on the ephemeral nature of identity, the work highlights the liminal space between remembering and forgetting, between an image and its obliteration.

Concert | Akim Funk Buddha’s Hip-Hop Holiday


Indonesian monkey chanting, Mongolian throat singing, and Balinese body popping are just a few tricks that Akim Funk Buddha has embraced as a means of redefining hip-hop. He continues that tradition with another Hip-Hop Holiday weekend. Akim presents his Urban Orchestra, merging Balinese kecak, Japanese kagaku music, and other genres with tight rhyming, beatboxing, and a futuristic soul train that only Funk Buddha could engineer.
