Time Is Not Even, Space Is Not Empty. A discussion with the artists, followed by a signing of the new comprehensive monograph
Deborah Jowitt will moderate a discussion with the artists, followed by a signing of the new comprehensive monograph "Eiko & Koma: Time Is Not Even, Space Is Not Empty". As the duo Eiko & Koma, Japanese artists Eiko Otake and Takashi Koma Otake (1987 and 1996 NYFA Fellows in Choreography) have been creating dance, movement-theater productions, theatrically staged performances, site-specific works, dance videos, gallery-based performance installations, and intermedia collaborations with many leading music, dance and visual artists for nearly 40 years. The Walker Art Center has published the first book addressing Eiko & Koma's oeuvre, a 320-page catalogue includes scholarly essays, an interview, and an illustrated and complete "catalogue of works" detailing each of their projects to date accompanied by reprints of primary materials; short essays on specific works; and a bibliography.
