Charles Atlas
EAI and Luhring Augustine are pleased to celebrate Charles Atlas, an exceptional figure whose innovations with video as an artistic medium span five decades of technological evolution and collaboration. Atlas will appear in-person for the event, in conversation with EAI's Executive Director, Rebecca Cleman, and Distribution Director, Karl McCool.
Atlas will guide the audience through excerpts of his blue and green screen works, which showcase Atlas's rich array of collaborators—including Merce Cunningham, Douglas Dunn, Anohni, and Sonic Youth—and his early experiments in video production techniques. Preceding the conversation, EAI will screen an episode from The Martha Tapes (1996-2000), Atlas's series featuring found footage of dance performance, interrupted by irreverent callouts to famous "Marthas" in Hollywood cinema.
