Modern Mondays: An Evening with Kerry Tribe
Monday, May 13, 7:00 p.m.
MoMA

Kerry Tribe (American, b. 1973) uses the formal mechanics of the moving image to explore the instability of recall and the subjective nature of perception. This evening culminates in a live performance of Tribe’s Critical Mass, based on the 1971 Hollis Frampton film of the same name. Tribe’s piece reenacts Frampton’s film, cut-by-cut, with two live actors. This is the New York premiere of a new iteration, with actors Emelie O’Hara and Nick Huff..

May 11–September 23, 2013
MoMA

Working in photography, film, video, installation, and performance, Beirut-based artist Akram Zaatari has built a complex, compelling body of work that explores the state of image-making today. One of the founders of the Arab Image Foundation, Zaatari collects, examines, and represents a wide range of documents that testify to the cultural and political conditions of Lebanon’s postwar society. Projects 100 features the American premiere of two video installations: Dance to the End of Love (2011) and On Photography, People and Modern Times (2010).
