Thank you to all who made it to Staten Island to see the show please scroll down to link to some of the highlights including performances by Linda Montano and Geoffrey Hendricks.
“Life As Art,” an exhibition on performance art, will be presented at the Vlepo Gallery, 36 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, New York October 7th through October 28th,2004. The opening reception will take place October 9th, 2004 from 3-6 p.m.
Curated by performance artist Milenka Berengolc, the exhibition is an eclectic mix of works by seminal artists of the seventies, such as Linda Montano, Geoffrey Hendricks, Hannah Wilke, Joan Jonas, Suzanne Lacy, Alex Grey and Mierle Laderman Ukeles, as well as local and emerging artists.
“Life as Art” is dedicated to Allan Kaprow. Kaprow, renowned for his “happenings” of the fifties and sixties, wrote of the blurring of life and art and was to coin the term “lifelike art.”
There will be live performances at the opening reception. On Saturday, October 23,2004, Linda Montano will perform her recent work, “Conversations with My Father” for the closing.
This project is made possible in part by a Premier Grant from the Council on the Arts and Humanities for Staten Island (COAHSI) with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
