NANCY GARCIA
NO KEYS

in collaboration with Biba Bell, Jacqueline Fritz, Jessie Gold and Maya Timu

June 21 – June 23, 2007

Greene Naftali is pleased to begin its group exhibition, Genesis I’m Sorry, with No Keys, a new dance and sound performance installation by Nancy Garcia.

Through movement and live sound within and throughout the gallery, five performers will activate the space with various rhythms using movement, electric guitars and vocal sounds. Amidst guitar cables and a sound installation, sisters sing deconstructed versions of their favorite songs. You’ll watch their relationships to each other in action, reproducing themselves and destroying old forms of themselves through repetition.

Performing, recording and composing with her band Monotract since 1998, Garcia’s music practice intersects with her dance practice. She has collaborated as a solo musician with artists such as Thurston Moore, Spencer Yeh and Aida Ruilova. As a member of Monotract, she has performed throughout the US, Japan and Europe, and played festivals such as All Tomorrow’s Parties.

PERFORMANCE DATES AND TIMES:
Thursday June 21st: 3pm & 7pm
Friday June 22nd: 3pm & 7pm
Saturday June 23rd: 1pm & 4pm
*Reception on June 21 after 7pm performance

Admission is free

O my how our family is growing with such fun and interesting people!

I’d like to welcome our latest addition, Ms. Nancy Garcia (on the left), who covers many interesting bases. I’ve read her bio, and have had some back and forth with her over email, and I am still trying to get a handle on all the things she does… and wants to do.

She’s currently a Masters student at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), which those of you who read my posts will know I’m very excited about. One of the projects she’s been working on involves 360 degree cameras and dance, and she is hoping it will be shown at ITP’s Spring Show in May. (You can see my post from their past Winter Show, here).

In addition to her creative technical pursuits, she is also a dancer, a choreographer, and a musician with her own band, Monotract. She says her work focuses on integrating the processes of soundmaking and dancemaking, in the studio and in performance. The people and places she has worked with are impressive… I can’t wait to see what she will share with us.

Welcome Nancy!
