Fabienne Lasserre’s “Listeners” exhibition will be paired with a commissioned dance choreographed by Beth Gill featuring music by experimental composer Jon Moniaci. Gill is a New York City-based choreographer who has been awarded for excellence in her field with honors including the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts, the Guggenheim Fellowship grant and Princeton’s Hodder Fellowship grant. She and Moniaci have a long history of collaboration with other artists, including many works with one another. One such work is “Electric Midwife,” a piece that resulted in the reception of the 2011 Bessie New York Dance and Performance Award. Lasserre’s accompanying exhibition is full of repurposed materials fashioned into bright, abstract hybrids of painting and sculpture suspended from the ceiling to facilitate interaction with the audience’s movements.

WHO: Beth Gill & Jon Moniaci
WHEN: Friday, Mar. 15, 7 p.m.
WHERE: The Athenaeum
HOW MUCH: FREE!
