January 27, 2023, 4pm

Venue: New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Bruno Walter Auditorium
Location: 111 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY. 10023
Program: Dr. Richard Move presents at Dance + Ecology: A Symposium for Climate Action

Dr. Richard Move presents as part of the Dance + Ecology symposium. He includes an examination of Molissa's 1989 solo, The Floor Dances (Requiem for the Living), sculpture by land artist, Richard Long and music by Henryk Gorecki; dancer and choreographer, Maureen Fleming in her Axis Mundi, 1988; and several “earth-body” works by the visual and performance artist Ana Mendieta, from the 1970s and early 1980s. Drawing on authors such as Donna Haraway and Mel Y. Chen, Move positions the solo works made by these artists within new materialism while, in the words of Harraway, “making kin” with both these artists and these authors. Move’s objective is to reveal, in the words of Chen, “a biopolitics that perpetually resituates, recombines, and rearticulates the matter of life - in the particularized bodies of its animals, objects, humans.”
