VB64

Posted on 2009-03-09

Deitch Projects presents VB64, Vanessa Beecroft’s first public performance in New York since 2000 and an accompanying exhibition of new sculpture at Deitch Studios on the East River in Long Island City. The sculptures from the performance along with a video projection of the performance, will be on view through Sunday April 12th. An exhibition of new wax and gesso sculptures will also be on view in the adjoining gallery.

Vanessa Beecroft works in the space between painting, sculpture, performance, and real life. In VB64, she introduces a new element into the work, gesso sculptures cast from live models, resting on coffin-like bases. The twenty live models in the performance will be in white body make up and at the beginning of the performance will be indistinguishable from the sculptural casts. VB64 pushes Beecroft’s deliberate confusion between sculpture, performance and real life into a new realm, the tension between life and death.

The exhibition runs until the 12th April, 2009

ONE & OTHER

Posted on 2009-03-09

One & Other will provide a fascinating portrait of the UK in the twenty-first century. Every hour, 24 hours a day for 100 days, a different person will take their place on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in London, in a continuous representation of themselves, their families, or their communities. The 2,400 participants will be chosen at random from the many thousands that are expected to apply.

Participants can use their time on the plinth as they like – to perform, to demonstrate, or simply to reflect. Antony Gormley is inviting people, aged 16 and over, from across the UK to participate in the creation of a unique living monument on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. One & Other will run for 100 days from 6 July – 14 October 2009 and will involve 2,400 people from all over the UK who will stand on the plinth for an hour each.
Anyone interested in participating can register their interest and find out more at the newly launched project website
