Event Details

Looking at art as a fundamental aspect of humanity is core to the work of performance artists Igor Josifov and Michael Ryan Noble.  Their performance lecture Reflections on Originality investigates ideas of authenticity in art and questions how the language of art is at once original and derivative. Throughout the residency they will be recreating and copying their previous performance works “Manumission,” “Emit” and “Flooded” as well as exploring the idea of copying as a part of their fellow Watermill residents’ new work. Concluding their Watermill residency, the artists will present their research through performance as well as exhibition of photos and drawings, and will address such concepts as artistic integrity, inspiration, creative vision, intellectual property, appreciation and interpretation.
