Pentagram New at Pentagram Everybody Dance Now: 20 Years of Dancing in Print Opening today at the AIGA National Design Center, Everybody Dance Now: 20 Years of Dancing in Print is a retrospective of Dance Ink (1989-1996) and (1997-ongoing), the pioneering performing and visual arts magazines published by Patsy Tarr and designed and art directed by Abbott Miller. Emerging from the New York dance community, Dance Ink was conceived as an alternative performance space, one that had the advantage of becoming a physical record of this most ephemeral art form. , its successor, continues in this tradition with a focus on editions that use the medium of print to evoke the tactile, visual and temporal qualities of performance. Everybody Dance Now focuses on 2wice’s collaborations with a distinguished roster of performers and photographers, the result of a single, powerful idea of creating performances within the unique “stage” of the printed page. The exhibition, designed by Miller, includes the publications, books, photographs, posters and artifacts related to the production of these unique documents of contemporary dance. The exhibition will be open to the public from April 3 through May 15 at the AIGA National Design Center, 164 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 am to 6 pm; Friday, 11 am to 5 pm. | |
