Migrations - Noémie Lafrance

Migrations is a site-specific choreography by Noémie Lafrance and performed by the Liz Gerring Dance Company to an original score by Janek Schaefer. Inspired by passerby on 42nd Street and created for the window facade of the Altria Building, Migrations is performed by Miguel Anaya, Lawrence Cassella, Jennifer Howard, and Rosalynde LeBlanc. Perched in the window structure of the lobby, their bodies leaning at an angle 30 feet in the air over the audience, the dancers execute a choreography inspired by the everyday jesting of manners. Isolated inside their respective vertical islands, characters step into the virtual void between their inner and outer worlds. - sensproduction.org/

Wing Goddess

New Swoon print done in her original cutout style. Front and Jay Street, Brooklyn, beneath the Manhattan Bridge.
All sorts of winged insects are here, moths, dragonflies, grasshoppers. I think of these style Swoon pieces as goddesses. This one seems to be gesturing "Stop." Could it have been put up in conjunction with Earth Day? Van Brunt near Beard Street, Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Masked Fire

Swoon Print on Beard Street, Red Hook Brooklyn.
I’ll call it Masked Fire. It looks like some sort of revolution is going on. Anarchy has broken out in the streets, people are climbing fences, a fire is raging. Click the photos for a larger version. Full image.
