Too much TV.

[NY] A pile of video monitors accompanies the riveting Koosil-ja Hwang in her new piece, deadmandancing Excess, at the Nest. The basement of a commercial building in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn, the Nest has been rent-free for artists, musicians, and dancers who put their own labor into preparing the space for performance. Hwang will splice together film clips in which characters die--"dying performances," she calls them--which will affect her movement choices. Her previous piece at the Nest, the mysterious solo mech[a]OUTPUT, was, she says, "all about restraint, stripping down." Now, for deadmandancing Excess, she asks herself, "How much can we multiply?" Hence, the video mountain, possibly with excessive numbers of dying acts. Hwang seems to relish the fleetingness of it all, as she creates her last site-specific work for a site that will soon be returned to its landlord. Running nightly from June 2 to July 3.
