SUMMER 2002 EVENTS

Wednesday, July 17, 2002, 6-8 pm
Screening and discussion: Marina Abramovic
In collaboration with Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI)

Performance artist Marina Abramovic presents a selection of video works produced within the last five years. Abramovic was born in 1946 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Often cited as one of the chief exponents of body art, she received the Golden Lion (Leone d'Oro) at the Venice Biennale in 1997, and has exhibited internationally.

Tuesday, July 23, 2002
Chantal Akerman
Screening: "From the Other Side," 2002, 12-6:30 pm
Book launch and signing: "Chantal Akerman: A Family in Brussels," Dia, 2002, 6:30-8 pm

In the afternoon, Dia and Chantal Akerman present "From the Other Side," from the film installation she conceived for this summer's Documenta 11 in Kassel.

In the evening, Dia and the artist celebrate the latest Dia publication, which documents Akerman's 2001 performances of A Family in Brussels at Dia Center for the Arts. Akerman wrote the piece as a monologue and first performed it in theaters in Paris and Brussels. A double CD of Akerman's Dia reading, recorded live in October 2001, accompanies the text.

Akerman was born in Brussels in 1950, and lives and works in Paris. Her films, which explore such themes as the passage of time and ritualistic behaviors, include "Hôtel Monterey" (1972); "Je, tu, il, elle" (1974); "Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Brussels" (1975); and "La Captive "(2000). Akerman was included in the 2001 Venice Biennale; the XVI International Video and Multimedia Arts Festival at the Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris in 2001; and the Media City Seoul 2000 biennial, in Korea. She is currently exhibiting in Documenta 11.
