Baryshnikov Arts Center
Billy Cowie Retrospective
Baryshnikov Arts Center
450 West 37th Street, Studio 6B
New York, NY
Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC) in collaboration with DFA brings to New York for the first time the master illusionist Billy Cowie for his 3-D video installation, that includes MEN IN THE WALL, a four-screen stereoscopic screen dance. 3D glasses allow the viewer to enter this multi-cultural world of four men, whose shared framed lives reveal a public quartet of private differences. The piece runs on a continuous 25-minute loop. Also to be shown will be GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE (variation on MEN IN THE WALL for women), and TANGO DE SOLEDAD. Award-winning Scottish video artist/composer Billy Cowie creates a delightfully amusing montage that beguiles as it inspires.
January 25-February 1. Free. 1-6pm viewing.
Jan 26., installation continues until 6:30
Lecture/Reception January 26, 6:30–8pm. RSVP
Free to DFA and NYFV members, $10 general admission and $5 students and seniors
Billy Cowie will perform a lecture entitled “Hi Jinx,” an homage to Heidi Dzinkowska, the seminal early 20th-century dancer, choreographer and filmmaker. A cheeky take on the creation of mythologies, personal gurus and the history of art. Co-sponsored by The New York Film/Video Council.
Jan. 27, 8–8:30 Big Screen Project screens videos by Cowie & Liz Aggiss including MOTION CONTROL as part of Dance on Camera.
Liz Aggiss and Billy Cowie, known collectively as Divas Dance Theatre, are renowned for their highly visual, interdisciplinary brand of dance performance that incorporates elements of theatre, film, opera, poetry and vaudevillian humour. Anarchic Dance, consisting of a book and DVD-Rom, is a visual and textual record of their boundary-shattering performance work. Published January 30th 2006 by Routledge.
