Victory Gardening | New work on Governors Island

10 – 12 June 2011 | 10am – 6pm | Governors Island NYC | Figment Festival

Caitlin Berrigan will present a new work for Governors Island. For the duration of the Figment Festival, she will enact a pathetic political gesture—circling around the perimeter of the island, endlessly declaring ‘Victory’ in an evaporating medium.

Victory Gardening was commissioned by Kleio Projects for The Purposeful Garden including work by artists Fabian Grateroles, Anne Percoco, Junko Sugimoto, and Mosstika.

For details on the festival and how to get to the island, please visit http://newyork.figmentproject.org. *Weather permitting*

Victory Gardening was produced during an invitational residency at The Wassaic Project, and made possible with the gracious assistance of Francis Rabkin, Janine Iversen, Storm Garner, Gina Siepel and Meredith Jenks.

The Anxious Prop, Case 4 | Publication

The Anxious Prop, Case 4: Reviewing Making-Visible

Open Phrases, cut-out paper print for The Anxious Prop, Case 4

Available for download at: http://www.theanxiousprop.org

This feuilleton is both a sporadic publication and a loose collective operating under the aegis of The Anxious Prop. That which is common is the desire to work with two looping, yet sequential parameters: 1. We are into the labor of producing forms, shapes, and figures as a method to explore collective knowledge by challenging the discourse of digital fabrication; 2. These forms, shapes, and figures emerge with the disposition to be activated, triggering their condition as theatrical objects and their consequent instrumental or anthropological role in the world.

Case 4 is co-directed by Jan Bovelet and Luis Berríos-Negrón, and contains contributions by Caitlin Berrigan, Luis Berríos-Negrón, Jan Bovelet, Rick Buckley, Eric Ellingsen, Tim Gough, Mendel Heit, Alexandra Hopf, Anna Kostreva, Boris Kajmak, Miodrag Ku, Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga, Pia Marais, MIT Museum, Olivia Plender, The Product, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, Carrie Roseland, Salottobuono, Gabi Schillig, George Stiny.
