This intimate panel discussion will focus on creative collaborations between the Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark and Satellite Collective, Site:Lab, and other arts organizations in the US and UK. Panelists will explore how Gordon Matta-Clark’s vision and work in the 1970s can inform 21st Century multimedia performance, dance, and contemporary art. Following the panel, Satellite presents the New York premiere of Central Park, Earlier In Time, a dance work with projection incorporating the drawings of Gordon Matta-Clark. This work is in development for stage presentation.

 

In his short but prolific career, Gordon Matta-Clark centered collaboration at the core of his artistic practice. Ensconced in the downtown art scene of the 1970s, he not only incorporated film, dance, performance and food into his own work but also regularly participated in other artists’ projects such as performing in Joan Jonas’s film Song Delay, designing set ideas for Mabou Mines, or dancing with the Trisha Brown Dance Company.

 

Collaboration being central to Gordon Matta-Clark’s legacy, the Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark works with contemporary artists in the generation of new pieces in dialogue with his ideas. Satellite Collective is inspired by similar collaborative methods brought forward into a digital age. Although the art economy has radically changed since the 70s and 80s, the city remains a powerful source of raw material for commentary and transformation. How can engaging in a dialogue with an artist of the past inspire new work that addresses our present moment?

 

The evening will include a screening of a Gordon Matta-Clark short film with introduction by Co-Director of his Estate, Jessamyn Fiore and a feature performance of live ballet and projection. Using Gordon Matta-Clark’s drawings as source material, Satellite artist Kevin Draper has translated them into three-dimensional space bringing Matta-Clark’s images into a futuristic New York.

 

Panelists include: Jessamyn Fiore, Co-Director, Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark; Artists of SITE:LAB, and Kevin Draper and Lora Robertson, Satellite Collective.

 

Feature Performance : “Central Park, Earlier In Time”

Narcissus hunts in the city by night in a powerful solo. He meets Echo, and a complex, transformational duet unfolds as the city and park visually enfolds them. This piece is inspired by “Echo and Narcissus,” premiered at BAM Fisher in 2018. The New York Times said “In terms of inspiration, Satellite Collective bubbles over with creativity.” With choreography by Norbert De La Cruz III and score by Aaron Severini, an exclusive recording by ShoutHouse, and a collective of musicians creating “a lavishly orchestrated, absolutely unique blend of post rock, art-rock and indie classical.” (New York Music Daily)

 

“Satellite is working in a new kind of venue for the collective. We are bringing the athletic performance and production values of our performing arts work into a gallery space. Here, we have the opportunity to engage in longer conversations with our audience and more prominently feature the compelling visual artists driving Satellite’s collaborations,” shared the team at Satellite.

 

Satellite Collective's Tribeca Show 2024 is designed to foster intimate moments in a classic New York gallery space. In addition to new prints and projections from featured artist Kevin Draper and new film and photography by featured artist Lora Robertson, the Tribeca Show will consist of two busy weekends of new music, dance, discussion, and visual art, and film presented by Satellite Collective. Satellite Collective's Tribeca Show 2024 will include direct art experience with panels, performances, visual art, screenings, and a view into how creativity informs collaboration.

About The Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark

Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) was born in New York City and studied architecture at Cornell University. In the 1970s, he helped establish alternative spaces such as 112 Greene Street and Food Restaurant in SoHo, began staging monumental architectural interventions, bringing attention to New York's failing social policies, displaced people, and abandoned spaces. Though he died from cancer in 1978 at the age of 35, his work has gone on to be exhibited throughout the world and is included in many museum collections including the Whitney, Guggenheim and MOMA.

 

The Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark is a small, private, family-run artist estate that was started by Jane Crawford, the artist’s widow, after Matta-Clark's untimely death in 1978. In 2012 Crawford’s daughter, Jessamyn Fiore, officially joined as co-director of the Estate. In 2011, the archive of Gordon Matta-Clark was gifted to the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. Since 1998, the Estate has been represented by the David Zwirner Gallery.

 

About Satellite Collective

Satellite Collective formed in 2010, with members of the New York City Ballet, visual artists, writers, and composers from across the country. Since then, Satellite has produced fourteen seasons of multi-disciplinary work in New York City with an imposing cross section of the city’s young talent. Satellite has evolved since its inception, spinning off several dance and arts nonprofits, while growing programs in financial services and professional development, designed by, led, and supported by artists.

 

Satellite incubates artists collaborating as equals. The company designs performances, arts exchanges, and publications that bring talented artists from all disciplines to work together. Satellite Collective is New York based, with regional studies on Lake Michigan, in the Pacific Northwest, and participating artists from around the world.

 

For this innovation and commitment the Borough of Brooklyn awarded Satellite Collective a Citation for Achievement in the Arts for “building a sustainable creative, financial, and collaborative model that can generate new visions for dance, multimedia, music and poetry.” The citation goes on to note that the company has “added to the awe-inspiring cultural landscape of our Borough and beyond.”
