SeOUL-NYmAX: A Celebration of Arts without Borders
From October 8 to November 6, 1994, Anthology Film Archives will
present SeOUL-NYmAX: A Celebration of Arts Without Borders, which will
bring together over seventy artists and critics working with dance, music,
performance, electronic arts, film, and video. On the first afternoon the
celebration will be at the Judson Memorial Church and Washington Square Park;
thereafter all programs will be at Anthology Film Archives on the Lower East
Side. During SeOUL-NYmAX there will be sixty in-person performances,
forty filrn screenings, twenty electronic arts installations, four receptions,
and panel discussions dealing with arts that bridge different disciplines and
cultures - arts that are not concerned with aesthetic or national borders. The
artworks on view in this Celebration are often multimedia, and in many cases
embody the aspiration for freedom of expression.
Broadly, these artworks can be grouped as
- the arts of Korea, especially modern dance, film, the electronic arts of video, computers, and interactive installations;
- classic and new multimedia, ranging from a 1960s piece by Takehisa Kosugi to interactive 1990s computer art;
- an international Fluxus reunion (20 artists in person, 5 in absentia).
All three floors of Anthology will be used to house this extraordinary
gathering with guests from Lithuania (Vytautas Landsbergis, a Fluxus artist who
was his country's first president), Austria (Hermann Nitsch), Korea, Japan, and
the United States (including Susan Sontag and Nam June Paik). This project is
sponsored by the Korean Cultural Service and the Korea Society, with support
from Nam June Paik, Film/Video Arts, and the New York State Council on the
Arts. Admission to Anthology during this festival will be $7 per person each
evening, but special passes to the whole celebration will also be available at
$45 for the general public, and $25 for students. Members will be admitted at
S2 per night. Check out the SeOUL-NYmAX Art Festival on the Internet at:
