Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, by director Peter Joseph, is a feature length documentary work which will present a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society.
This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical "life ground" attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a "Resource-Based Economy".
THEATRICAL RELEASE - Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is planned to be released in 60+ countries and in 30+ languages starting January 15th 2011. This large scale release is not associated with any major distributor.

Life of The World To Come: Twist and Crawl
| |
NIAD
551 23rd Street
Monday - Friday
9:00 am - 4:00 pm, or by appointment
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 22, 2-5pm
THE FIRST IN A THREE-PART SERIES OF EXHIBITIONS ORGANIZED BY TIMOTHY BUCKWALTER
OFFERING A BROADER VIEW OF CONTEMPORARY ART
Shattering the conventions that have until now segregated artists with disabilities from their mainstream contemporaries, Twist and Crawl blends more than 30 works culled from artists and galleries across the country with those from the National Institute of Art and Disabilities studio program.
Twist and Crawl is the first in a three-part exhibition series, Life of The World To Come, that presents a preview of a future where work from disabled artists is viewed in the same light as pieces and projects from artists who may not have a diagnosis extreme enough to qualify them as "other." In reality, however, the show is not breaking new ground so much as making visible what is already underway. Artists with disabilities - from Willem De Kooning to Chuck Close - are already a part of the contemporary art world. But Close and De Kooning were already established before becoming disabled. The next logical step in the opening up of the contemporary art world would be the inclusion of artists with disabilities.

The Masquers Playhouse

Purchase tickets here.
by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa;
directed by Patricia Inabnet
Our 2011 Season kicks off with this celebration of the uncanny: Two intertwined one act plays in the style of Hitchcock and The Twilight Zone begin our season. In the first play, a director of horror films survives a terrible train wreck only to be haunted by the ghost of one of the passengers who didn't survive. In the second, Abby and Joe travel to a small town in rural Oregon to make peace with the man who murdered her parents and younger sister. The Mystery Plays wrestle with the most profound of human ideas: the mysteries of death, the afterlife, religion, faith, and forgiveness. |
