Secretary of the Arts

The petition seems almost too simple, but it's a simple idea.  Quincy Jones and hopefully a few million more say we could really use someone who has time to think about our cultureal well being advising at the top.

OK clearly not a few million yet, but it could be.

Big Art Group's SOS
PERFORMANCE: March 19-21 & 26-28, 2009 @ 8PM
The Kitchen
512 West 19th Street NYC

Big Art Group's latest opus, SOS, jumps off from the primal themes of The Rite of Spring to stage their own contemporary rite of rebirth through a panoptic live video installation.

SOS is an  investigation into the nature of sacrifice within a supersaturated, hyper-acquisitive society. Set in a theatrical space that plays with the idea of representation, where the cables and cameras of surveillance appear as a forest of technology, the performance unwinds through overlapping abstract narratives. Animals (played by actors in plushy costumes and body mounted cameras) pushed from their native habitat turn on each other in a hopeless contest for survival. Televised Trans-Variant Revolutionaries from the Realness Liberation Front broadcasting in a skeletal studio implode under the pressure and failure of their own rhetoric. Social networking addicts enmeshed in a self-created universe seek escape from a tightening web of perception. As these scenarios vibrate against one another, the action transforms into a celebration of renewal though chaos.
