Tonight is the final night of Detritus at 1351 Amsterdam Avenue in Harlem as part of chashama's Summer Performance Series. Visual artist Stephanie Beck, composer Lynn Wright, and choreographer Rachel Cohen continue their exploration of paper. They began in an empty space and during a series of performances have slowly built a shifting paper landscape.

Walk past the window, come inside to interact with the installation, and stay for a performance!

Featuring Masumi Kishimoto and Pablo Ruvalcaba and special guests.

The installation is open all day, and the performance starts at 8pm.

On a shared program with Masanori Asahara and Moeno Wakamatsu, Racoco Productions will show a new collaboration with visual artist Stephanie Beck, composer Lynn Wright, and performers Rachel Cohen, Remi Harris, and Masumi Kishimoto, Paper Work, charting ideas of "progress," territorial expansion, discipline, and disorder.

Tactile trios of sound, paper, and the body continuously create and destroy shifting landscapes, echoing the tension between the desire for civilization and the constant call to new territory.

A celebration of arts, community organizing, dance, music and performance, during the Bushwick Open Studios weekend.

The entire festival runs from 11-4, with performances all day. We're on at 2pm (note this is a change!).

Featuring Stephanie Beck, Rachel Cohen and Masumi Kishimoto, with music by Lynn Wright.

with Super Special Guests THERE'S NO LAW:

NEXT TO NOTHING by Cassie Tunick, Heather Harpham, Danny Tunick. This musical/physical/vocal exposure of the present moment reveals what we've known all along – nothing happens for a reason. Next to nothing, there's always something clamoring to exist. In this fully improvised performance, distinctly evolved narratives dovetail with intricate dances. Songs avalanche out of sound, morph into gestural architectures with a keen ear for broken rhythms and altered states of mind. The will-o'-the-wisp moment is made flesh in Second Nature's ongoing exploration of the physical supernatural and the real-as-your-hometown.

Lights by Nicholas Houfek.

The Alternativa Festival, an annual festival of alternative music in Prague in the Czech Republic, will be screening David Pym's video of "Construct" as part of its presentation of the work of Lynn Wright, whose band And the Wiremen will play live the following day.
