SUMMARY:g e o d e s i c   l i n g u i x ; Charas as Infinite Thought Object
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Mottel & Edwin Torres\nEVENT DETAILS:TICKETSWednesday\, January 9\, 2019\, 8:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n \ng e o d e s i c   l i n g u i x ;\nCharas as Infinite Thought Object\nThe history of dome building on the Lower East Side goes back to when CHARAS built domes in collaboration with Buckminster Fuller in 1972/73. Syeus Mottel documented this effort in his photojournalism book CHARAS; THE IMPROBABLE DOME BUILDERS\, first published in 1973 and now re-published in 2018 by Song Cave Press & Pioneer Works. \nOn 1.9.19\, The Poetry Project\, will stage a performative action between artist\, and researcher Matthew Mottel and poet Edwin Torres. Torres has been an active member of the Loisaida community since the 90’s\, where he’s performed his ‘lingualisualist’ poetics\, rooted in sight and sound\, at many iconic venues. Mottel\, has been a member of the experimental arts community of New York City since the late 1990’s. \nIn interviewing Chino Garcia (co-founder of CHARAS)\, Matthew was told that one of the domes CHARAS built in the 1970’s was portable and used as sites for experimental performance. In this spirit\,Mottel and Torres will perform in and around a Geodesic Dome built inside the Poetry Project. \nMottel will screen a documentary video on the history of CHARAS’s dome building activity. And Torres will perform from his recent book\, “XOETEOX: THE INFINITE WORD OBJECT” (Wave Books) within a sonically & visually-charged geodesic environment. \nAs the finale of the evening\, the two will collaborate in and around the dome. This event will further expand the narrative of CHARAS’s original dome actions\, to pair with contemporary performance and poetics\, and to champion new forms with new content. This collaboration was facilitated by the Loisaida Center\, who introduced the artists and hosted Mottel’s exhibition ‘Charas is alive on Spaceship Earth’ in May – June 2018. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMATTHEW MOTTEL\n\n\nMatthew Mottel (born 1981\, New York\, NY) is an artist\, performer and writer. Matthew researches political and cultural histories to ameliorate the relationships between archival historical documents and their contemporary context. These investigations often are in the form of sculpture\, intermedia art installation and performance; creating unique environments for archival media to exist within.
