DIA ART FOUNDATION INVITES PUBLIC TO STREAMSIDE DAY CELEBRATION AND TO BE PART OF PIERRE HUYGHE'S FILM "STREAMSIDE DAY FOLLIES"

Streamside Knolls, Fishkill, New York

New York, NY-Dia Art Foundation invites the public to celebrate the founding of a new community called Streamside Knolls, in Fishkill, New York, and to be part of artist Pierre Huyghe's film project, "Streamside Day Follies." A parade, animal costumes, music, and a barbeque dinner with hot dogs and hamburgers, corn on the cob, pumpkin pies, ice cream, lemonade, and green cotton candy are some of the highlights of this celebration at Streamside Knolls, a new residential development. "Streamside Day Celebration" is free and open to the public (See "Event Details," below).

"Streamside Day Celebration" will begin with the planting of a tree. Children will be offered animal costumes to wear for the event. At 3:30 pm, a parade with a fire engine, police car, mail truck, school bus, two pick-up truck floats, and an ice-cream truck will travel though Streamside Knolls. People can enjoy an ice cream while listening to welcoming remarks. Around 5:30 pm dinner will be served, followed by a Streamside Day Cake. The public is welcome to take pictures throughout the event.

The Project
In describing the background of the project, Pierre Huyghe says, "We are in the year 01, the beginning of a story which you are already a part of. Between the mountains and the bank of the Hudson River, a village is forming in the forest. Families are moving in, construction of streets and houses is almost complete, gardens are growing, and soon the playgrounds will be filled."

Huyghe has gained international prominence for works that explore reality and fiction, memory and history. Incorporating film, sculpture, sound, and architecture in his diverse works, the artist intervenes in familiar narrative structures to investigate the construction of collective and individual identities. In 2001, Huyghe was awarded the Special Prize of the Jury at the Venice Biennale.

"Streamside Day Celebration" and the resulting film project, "Streamside Day Follies," are made possible by Marian Goodman Gallery, in association with Minetta Brook and with the cooperation of AVR Realty, Town of Fishkill, and the Streamside Knolls Homeowners Association.

Streamside Day Follies will be exhibited at Dia:Chelsea from November 1, 2003, through January 11, 2004. An opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Friday, October 31, from 6 to 8 pm. Dia:Chelsea, 548 West 22nd Street, New York City, is open Wednesday through Sunday, 12 noon to 6 pm. Streamside Day Follies was commissioned by Dia Art Foundation.
