Heart existing somewhere between the Midwest, Brazil, and places I've never been. Liker of art, language, beats, people, books, cynicism, politics, fashion and food. Currently: listening with my hands. I make stuff: LOKIArt.com

 

NY based artist Legacy Russell speaks about her current project Open Ceremony and briefly discusses the ways in which daily actions take on the look of religious practice. Also see her Social Shrines.

The first of the four, “Rite of Remembrance: Memory Transcription”, investigates how narrative history acts as a vehicle in building collective consciousness within a community. With a table, two chairs, and a typewriter, Russell will take to the streets of the East Village and Lower East Side as a native stenographer of public diary, asking of residents both old and new: “What memories do you have of living in this neighborhood?” -presented by Trust Art
