Nonlinear Lineage: Over/Heard
Over/Heard is a listening installation of stories and musings collected through the Nonlinear Lineage project. Nonlinear Lineage is an effort to share a criss-crossing artistic lineage of experimental dance and performance in New York City, through elements of oral history, an ephemera archive, live interviews and other events, which highlight historic performance in conversation with contemporary practice. Nonlinear Lineage is an auto-ethnographic project organized by Sarah Maxfield, in collaboration with Elliott Jenetopulos.

Instant Realness
Performance photographer Ian Douglas has been documenting American Realness since its inception in 2010. Through his iconic images, Ian strives to preserve and even intensify what is an essentially dynamic and ephemeral experience through the isolated instant. Taken as a whole, his work provides us with a comprehensive visual record of the energy, eclecticism and creative chaos that is American Realness. Now in the festival’s fifth year – having showcased the work of fifty-two world-class artists including Miguel Gutierrez, Ann Liv Young, Trajal Harrell, luciana achugar, and Ishmael Houston-Jones – it is the perfect time to revisit some of these historic performances through Ian’s images.
