\"Wikipedia<\/a>August 19th @ Benrimon Contemporary<\/a>, part of Younger Than Moses: Idle Worship<\/a>
\n514 West 24th Street on the 2nd floor
\nAn evening of performances & screenings by Ryan V. Brennan, the Wikipedia Art Project, Genevieve White, Adam & Ron
\nBeginning 6:00 PM (come a little early for a Wikipedia Art Remix treat!)<\/p>\n

For Sean Fletcher and Isabel Reichert\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<\/a> Wikipedia Art Remix, two actors perform a scene appropriated from Edward Albee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s play \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Afraid of Virginia Woolf\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.\u00c2\u00a0 The dialogue between the iconic characters George and Martha incorporates highlights from the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Articles for Deletion<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d page of Wikipedia Art<\/a>, an intervention by Scott Kildall<\/a> and Nathaniel Stern<\/a> on Wikipedia, so the couple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s argument becomes one about whether or not art can exist on Wikipedia.<\/p>\n

See a video art version<\/a> of this upcoming performance piece.<\/p>\n

Sean Fletcher and Isabel Reichert<\/a> have collaborated together on conceptually based performance works, interventions, writings, installations, videos, photography, and prints since meeting each other in 1994.\u00c2\u00a0 Their work is about power and vulnerability; how it relates to relationship dynamics, society, and politics. Fletcher and Reichert use collaboration as a tool to integrate the negotiation for power into works of art.<\/p>\n

Scott Kildall<\/a> is an independent artist, who intervenes with objects and actions into various concepts of space. Nathaniel Stern<\/a> is an artist, teacher, writer and provocateur, who works with interactive, participatory, networked and traditional forms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
