Tony Oursler: Water Memory

Fresh off his dynamic Public Art Fund Commission, Tear of the Cloud, which was on view at Riverside Park this past October, Guild Hall has turned over the entire museum to Oursler who delves into the subject of water and notions of “magical thinking” on the East End.

Oursler has developed an experimental and innovative practice that utilizes projections, optical devices, audio, video, and sculpture to move images away from the white wall and onto unexpected surfaces or environments. Through this inventive technological approach, the artist explores the ubiquitous element of water as a repository for belief systems—with references that range from sea monsters and evil spirits to cartography and the claimed ability of water memory.

The Strangeness of Men & Women

A Play Based on a True Story by Eden Collinsworth
Starring Blythe Danner, Peter Eyre, Paul Hecht, and Erin Neufer.
Directed by Eden Collinsworth

The Strangeness of Men and Women is based on the true story of one of the more remarkably bizarre divorce cases, certainly one of the most entertaining.  Though the case takes place in 1920’s in London, it pits the male establishment against a new, very different generation of women and addresses the provocative issues between the sexes today.  “The only difference between men and women is everything,” or so it has been said. Come and make up your own mind.

Fresh off of his dynamic Public Art Fund Commission, Tear of the Cloud, which was on view at Riverside Park this past October, Guild Hall is pleased to turn over the entire museum to this noted artist who will delve into the subject of water and notions of “magical thinking” for the East End. Oursler has developed a new multimedia series of works which incorporate glass, computers and water. Thematically, the ubiquitous element of water becomes a repository for our belief systems as the artist references the development of cartography and the subsequent vanishing of sea monsters, Hollywood movies and evil maritime spirits, counterculture and the pseudoscience of water memory.

JDT Lab: The Tragedie of King John Falstaff by Michael C. O’Day

Defeated by the forces of Henry IV, the fearsome Welsh sorcerer seeks his revenge by magically shunting England into a terrifying alternate timeline.  In this parallel-universe version of Shakespeare’s Henriad, Prince Hal is reduced to a mere footnote, and it’s Sir John Falstaff – fat, drunken, boastful, cowardly, irrepressible Falstaff – who becomes king of England.  Can the Lord of Misrule overcome his innumerable vices to lead his nation, and put things back to rights?  And if he can’t – or won’t – then is there anybody who can?
