Interview: Kim Brandt
As told to David Velasco for Artforum
Kim Brandt’s smart, affecting, weird-form dances never take for granted the bodily habits or functional protocols of modern choreography and its users. Here she talks about her latest work, Clear Night, 2016, commissioned by Issue Project Room, comprising eight unique, daily performances from Friday May 20th to Friday May 27th at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
A collaborative presentation of ISSUE & Pioneer Works’ Artist-In-Residence programs, Clear Night is a series of related but distinct performances in which dancers deploy a variety of movement systems to proliferate tones, surfaces, and landscapes. A different work will be presented for 8 continuous days.
2015: The Year In Photos
2015 has been a momentous year for ISSUE Project Room. Following the start of renovations on our theater in February 2015, ISSUE undertook nomadic programming, presenting more than 60 events at 20 venues. We commemorate the season with photos of some of our favorite moments.
Choreographer Kim Brandt premieres a new work for large ensemble as part of her 2015 ISSUE residency. A series of systems for a “body of bodies” to move within, the piece explores a process in which the group metamorphoses through the sum of its parts.
