Tedi Tafel’s LIFE-WORLD
Nili Lotan Gallery, Tribeca
Sunday & Monday, March 1 & 2

Tedi Tafel’s Life-World (Montreal) performance series located in a public building and involves 2 dancers, video images and pieces of furniture. Situated in a re-created apartment it draws from activities that occur in daily life and toys with the experience of the audience as both spectator and voyeur. Each evening a different configuration of dance, image and installation is presented, all in an attempt to blur the boundaries that normally separate private and public, interior and exterior, mundane and poetic, and life and art.

The performance of Life-World was made possible through a Production Grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council with funds from the September 11th Fund.
