SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Merce Cunningham: CO:MM:ON TI:ME⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Designed by Ryan Gerald Nelson (Senior Designer) and Emmet Byrne (Design Director)⁣ ⁣ Renowned as both choreographer and dancer, Merce Cunningham (1919–2009) also revolutionized dance through his partnerships with the many artists who created costumes, lighting, films and videos, and décor and sound for his choreographic works.⁣ ⁣ Cunningham, together with partner John Cage, invited those artists to help him rethink what dance could mean, both on the stage and in site-responsive contexts.⁣ ⁣ His notion that movement, sound and visual art could share a “common time” remains one of the most radical aesthetic models of the 20th century and yielded extraordinary works by dozens of artists and composers, including Charles Atlas, John Cage, Morris Graves, Jasper Johns, Rei Kawakubo, Robert Morris, Gordon Mumma, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Pauline Oliveros, Nam June Paik, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, David Tudor, Stan VanDerBeek, Andy Warhol and La Monte Young, among many others. These collaborations bring to the fore Cunningham’s direct impact upon postwar artistic practice.⁣ ⁣ This 456-page volume, published in conjunction with the Walker Art Center and MCA Chicago’s exhibition, reconsiders the choreographer and his collaborators as an extraordinarily generative interdisciplinary network that preceded and predicted dramatic shifts in performance, including the development of site-specific dance, the use of technology as a choreographic tool and the radical separation of sound and movement in dance.⁣ ⁣ #MerceCunningham #RyanGeraldNelson #EmmetByrne #WalkerArtCenter #MCAChicago #Design #Dance #DanceAtHome⁣ (at Walker Art Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-PL8TKHMHs/?igshid=1c2evejz32u76

Still thinking about Merce Cunningham, who would have been 102 years old OTD, here are some images from 'Merce Cunningham: Common Time' — the classic and definitive exhibition catalog from @walkerartcenter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ An extraordinary book in every way, this 456-page catalog features 400 archival images of the dances, the dancers, the collaborators, the sets, the scene, the costumes, the experiments, the ephemera, the choreography and the choreographer himself. All of the connections are drawn. Printed on numerous deluxe papers, and innovatively designed by @emmetbyrne and @ryangeraldnelson it contains scholarly essays, interviews, transcripts of conversations and artist writings. Robert Rauschenberg's reflection on his 10-year period with the company expresses the joie de vivre that infuses every page: "All of us worked totally committed, shared every intense emotion, and, I think, performed miracles, for love only."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ @mercetrust⁠ #mercecunningham #bornotd #commontime https://www.instagram.com/p/CNu5IbLJuVH/?igshid=1x217uddun4j8
