Artist: Mark Leckey
Title: Cinema in the Round
Year: 2008
Curator: Mark Beasley
Creative Time / Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (Hey Hey, Glossolalia)

“Artworlders turned out in droves at the Guggenheim this past Wednesday for Mark Leckey’s performance-cum-lecture, “Cinema in the Round,” the penultimate event in Creative Time’s Hey Hey Glossolalia series. Pairing a handsome suit with his blonde, surfer shag, Leckey looked every bit the irreverent orator as he assumed the lectern in the museum auditorium and delivered a refreshingly unorthodox reading of art and cinema history. Of particular importance was the question of how something cinematic may move from a state of “pure horizontality” to that of “pure verticality,” which, for Leckey, was analogous to asking how a cinematic image may become an object, sculpture, monument or “beast.” Leckey’s familiarity with his source material bolstered its expressive content, and the narrational pliancy he brought to the lecture’s structure proved thoughtful and engaging.” - Tyler Coburn, Rhizome, May 23, 2008

A video installation of Cinema in the Round later formed the basis of Leckey’s 2008 Turner Prize winning Tate Gallery presentation.

***

Hey Hey Glossolalia: In May 2008 Creative Time presented a month-long series of events that explored the use of the voice in contemporary art. The projects combined sound, image, performance, and writing to investigate issues not limited to, the peripheries of speech, the charged relationship between speaker and audience, and how the artist (and curator) can speak with and through the voice of others.
 
“Hey Hey Glossolalia” derives from two terms in spoken language: “hey hey,” an exclamation and call for attention, and “glossolalia,” an evangelical term meaning “speaking in tongues”—utterances that resemble speech but are unintelligible. The title was inspired by Dadaist abstraction of language and the seemingly meaningless but often repeated beat marker in popular music. - Mark Beasley

Artist: Tori Wrånes
Title: YES NIX
Year: 2013
Curator: Mark Beasley
Performa 13, SIR Stage37, New York City

Tori’s visual concert YES NIX set the terms for contemporary operatic theater, vocal performance and the necessary need for the weird. Today Tori opens the Nordic pavilion, Venice. 💫

“YES NIX” took place in a room that looked like a nightclub or fashion runway, with two sets of chairs facing each other and colorful lights blasting into a smoke-machine haze. The piece unfolded in four movements. Music began to play as the mechanical rope system slowly dragged Wrånes, who was singing, across the floor, then suspended her above the audience. Her skirt turned out to be a jacket and her shirt, pants, topped off by shoes on her hands: an odd, surrealist touch added to the drama of her upside-down suspension.”

- A Visual Concert of Gestures, Ryan Wong, Hyperallergic, Nov 25, 2013

🔺🔻

2026 marks twenty years of living in New York City, two decades of curating, commissioning, writing about and joyously returning to making art. (Forthcoming: Harlem ‘26.) I figured if I could last six months it would be something. I chose NY when I first came as a teen, it chose me a decade or so later: from not-for-profit public art, performance biennial, Smithsonian museum to mega gallery. I’ve never archived, there’s too much living to be done but hey it’s been a long trip and continues to be so, so why not.

Lou Reed told me “at the point you love/hate this city you’re a New Yorker.” I’m a fully paid up, love-to-heartbreak-to-love New Yorker: it’s not for the faint of heart. Always meet your heroes and ignore the weakeners, as with the greatest of achievement’s they all melt with the sun. ☀️

Tori’s visual concert YES NIX set the terms for contemporary operatic theater, vocal performance and the necessary need for the weird. Today Tori opens the Nordic pavilion, Venice. 💫

“YES NIX” took place in a room that looked like a nightclub or fashion runway, with two sets of chairs facing each other and colorful lights blasting into a smoke-machine haze. The piece unfolded in four movements. Music began to play as the mechanical rope system slowly dragged Wrånes, who was singing, across the floor, then suspended her above the audience. Her skirt turned out to be a jacket and her shirt, pants, topped off by shoes on her hands: an odd, surrealist touch added to the drama of her upside-down suspension.”

2026 marks twenty years of living in New York City, two decades of curating, commissioning, writing about and joyously returning to making art. (Forthcoming: Harlem ‘26.) I figured if I could last six months it would be something. I chose NY when I first came as a teen, it chose me a decade or so later: from not-for-profit public art, performance biennial, Smithsonian museum to mega gallery. I’ve never archived, there’s too much living to be done but hey it’s been a long trip and continues to be so, so why not.

Lou Reed told me “at the point you love/hate this city you’re a New Yorker.” I’m a fully paid up, love-to-heartbreak-to-love New Yorker: it’s not for the faint of heart. Always meet your heroes and ignore the weakeners, as with the greatest of achievement’s they all melt with the sun. ☀️

Artist: Mike Kelley
Title: “The Judson Church Horse Dance”
Year: 2009
Curator: Mark Beasley
Performa 09, Judson Church, New York City

I wrote an essay about Mike’s last performance in the Performa 09 publication. I haven’t, as yet, written about working with Mike. I will. He was a guiding light to some and a necessary agitator to others. I booked naked and tattooed male go-go dancers for him at midnight, bribed a local rave to turn down the music during performance which we both returned to (Mike impromptu DJ’d) and shared vinyl records of strange (EVT) vocal music with him for a decade. He alongside a couple of others provided a route through. 🙏🏻
