“Dance Memoir” will continue beyond the festival, to stage street performances around sites in NYC of past NYC dance clubs. I am pleased to announce that Franklin Furnace Archive Inc. will by my fiscal sponsor for the duration of this series.
Funds towards “Dance Memoir” include three options:
(1) A thank you card for a $25.00 contribution printed and designed by the artist. You may email me at elaineangelopoulos@mac.com if you are interested.
“Dance Memoir”, 2018; archival ink jet print; paper size: 25” x 17”; edition of ten; background image credit: Deborah Yasinagawa; foreground image: Vincent Ruvulo; published by the artist
(2) The self-portrait is a multi-layered composite image I had produced to publicly announce “Dance Memoir”, was included with a selection of unique screen prints in an exhibition with Westbeth Gallery, as part of my participation with Art In Odd Places in 2018. As of this year, I will publish this image into an edition of ten archival ink jet prints. The pre-publication price is $500.00 each. You may email me at elaineangelopoulos@mac.com if you are interested in making a purchase.
Unlike the persona portraits I produced for “The Nested Selves”, this piece was constructed with watercolors and calligraphic dancing figure ink drawings as image filters, layered in between photo portraits taken of me to convey two moments in relation to dance and musical genres from the 1980’s and early 1990’s. Our personal devices have isolated us from the more communal and celebratory dance environments dance clubs provided to a diverse public in NYC.
