Event Description

Catherine Gallant/Dance presents a live 1/2 hour version of their latest work Escape from the House of Mercy, inspired by The House of Mercy once located at Inwood Hill Park in Upper Manhattan. Described as "a home for abandoned and troubled women," it was, in fact, closer to a prison or workhouse that routinely punished the women with inhumane and demoralizing treatment in the guise of rehabilitation. The rights of the poor, especially women, were completely denied during that period around 1900. Gallant seeks to mine the feelings of vulnerability as they relate to the present in the drive for social freedoms and equity.

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE

This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.

We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.

This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
