Please join us on September 19th on the lawn in front of the the Noo Arts House on Governors Island for a seaweed, dance and music performance. Artist Agnes Lin will be exhibiting her seaweed bioplastic sculptures in collaboration with dancers Amber Xu and Uma Supatra-Campbell, and musician Aristotle Hartzell. During the performance Xu and Campbell will dance wearing seaweed bioplastic sculptures made by Lin. The work encapsulates the human relationship to earth’s natural cycles, and connects New York’s coasts to the urban community. The dance will be accompanied by a live guitar composition inspired by the sounds of Rockaway shore, performed by Aristotle Hartzell.
Location: Lawn in front of Noo Arts House
2 PM? — Performance by guest artist Sharon Kagan: I Love My Body
Sharon Kagan invites visitors to participate in I Love My Body, a live video performance taking place on the lawn in front of Noo Arts House, 404A Colonels Row, Governors Island. Visitors are invited to look into the camera and repeat the simple phrase, “I love my body,” becoming part of the evolving video work.
The recorded footage will later become a sculptural video installation. The project explores self-image, embodiment, and self-acceptance, transforming a simple act of affirmation into a collective portrait.
