City Visions
A grant project to create an installation using projections from original photographs of industrial Queens and a set of aluminum mesh and rod constructions as a three-dimensional reflective setting for the projections. The multi-media installation was shown both as a gallery installation and also used as the setting for Memory Ghosts, an original dance theater piece created in collaboration with Sheila Kaminsky and Dancers. Memory Ghosts was performed in the Katherine Cornell Theater at the State University of New York, Buffalo, New York, and at the Queensborough Performing Arts Center, C.U.N.Y. and exhibited as an installation in the QCC Gallery, Queensborough Community College, C.U.N.Y.; performances and installation at the Queens Museum, Viridian Gallery, and several other theater venues in Manhattan, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, U.K.
