Performa Event: Case, Brody Condon
at New
Museum
of
Contemporary
Art,
235 Bowery, $12, noon-6pm, Scheduled for its New York premiere this
Sunday, November 22, Case
is an experimental adaptation of the 1984 novel Neuromancerby
William Gibson. Considered a classic work of the literary genre
cyberpunk, Neuromancer
tells the story of Case, a fallen super hacker whose glory days have
long since ended, leaving him in a drug-addled, regret-ridden state
that lifts when a mysterious entity offers him a second chance.
Charged, kaleidoscopic, and prescient, Neuromancer
dilates on virtual reality, artificial intelligence and a globalized
world through the intricacies of Case’s story. Case (2009),
conceived and produced by artist Brody
Condon,
will be a day-long installation and performance that, in the artist’s
words combines “Gibson’s 1980s dystopian techno-fetishism with faux
‘virtual reality’ scenes that will unfold via moving Bauhaus-inspired
sculptural props accompanied by the Gamelan ensemble Dharma Swara.”
I asked Condon a few questions in advance of the New York premiere so
readers, near and far, could get a sense of how this ambitious work
will unfold on Sunday.

& Savannah Gorton (Culled from the internet site YouTube,
videos of Bassey singing This is My Life during various stages of her
career are simultaneously filtered through slowly spinning crystal
prisms suspended in close proximity to the lenses of projectors,
creating a kaleidoscopic effect casting infinite images of the
songstress. An ethereal and haunting experience ensues, as the singer
appears at different ages and stages of her career with a chorus of
Basseys singing along in rhythm and time.) at Forever

A trailblazing figure
in 20th-century art, Man Ray (1890-1976) revealed multiple artistic
identities over the course of his career Dadaist, Parisian
Surrealist, international portrait and fashion photographer
and produced many important and enduring works as a photographer,
painter, filmmaker, writer, sculptor, and object maker. Alias Man
Ray explores the deliberate cultural ambiguity of Man Ray, who became
the first American artist to be accepted by the avant-garde in
Paris. It also examines the dynamic connection between Man
Ray's
assimilation (few know that he was born Emmanuel Radnitzky
to Russian Jewish immigrants), the evolution of his art, and his
willful construction of a distinctive artistic persona-F the first
major Man Ray show in NYC since 1974.
