Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani / Buscada / City Studio (October 7, 8 & 16)
More than forty years ago, New York City took ownership of a large area on the Lower East Side for “slum clearance” and urban renewal. You might know it as the area around the Essex Street Market (where Living as Form is being held), or as the parking lots on Delancey Street, or you may know someone who once lived there. This is SPURA, the highly contested Seward Park Urban Renewal Area. Since 2008, urbanist and photographer Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani, founder of Buscada and professor of urban studies at the New School, has led students of her City Studio in a long-term project about the everyday experience of housing, urban renewal and urban change at SPURA. The project’s goal is to translate research into images, exhibitions and audio projects to help people with different points of view come together in conversation about SPURA’s past, present and future.

Yevgeniy Fiks (October 9)
My work is inspired by the collapse of the Soviet bloc, which led me to the realization of the necessity to reexamine the Soviet experience in the context of the history of the Left, including that of the international Communist movement. My work is a reaction to the collective amnesia within the post-Soviet space over the last decade, on the one hand, and the repression of the histories of the American Left in the US, on the other.

Fly (October 8 & 9)
PEOPs is a collection of portraits & stories of people by Fly. Each page contains a new face surrounded by words – for the most part the words are a story that the person tells about themselves or about something they experienced or about something they heard – it’s usually a conversational dialogue – it’s all about my interaction with the person while I’m drawing them. The idea for PEOPs happened while I was touring the world in a band called God Is My Co-Pilot. Sometimes we would be in a new place almost every day & there was usually time between setting up equipmentand the show to get to know the locals. I always had my sketchbook and would draw people just out of habit. The conversations were very interesting because many time people were speaking English as a second language so the way that they phrased things was often very poetic & beautiful…so I would write down the conversations. At some point I realized I had a collection of drawings of people & stories. I thought it would make a great zine. After that I started going after people & making them sit for me & tell me stories. The format became much more structured & refined.

After struggling to secure homes for their families through four municipal governments over the last 25 years, losing over half their buildings, squatters attained “legal” status for their 12 remaining buildings in 2001. Though their struggle continues, this victory afforded an opportunity to consolidate a historical legacy in the form of a public archive, to be housed at NYU’s Tamiment Library, that will provide primary information on the most remarkable urban housing movement of its kind in late 20th century U.S. history.

For MARKET, Alan W. Moore will mount a display of materials from “House Magic: Bureau of Foreign Correspondence.” This is an informational project to a U.S. audience about big-building city center political squatting, aka occupied social centers. “House Magic” began in 2009 with an exhibition at ABC No Rio, and has developed since with extensive research in Europe.

The “House Magic” display for MARKET will include information on those pasts. (“House Magic: BFC” has a significant presence online, with a wiki website, a project blog, and online catalogue zines.)

After a stint as a critic, he made video art and installations from the mid-1970s, and in the later 1980s went back to school in art history. He has written on artists’ groups, cultural districts and cultural economies. He penned chapters for Julie Ault, ed., Alternative Art NY; Blake Stimson & Gregory Sholette, eds., Collectivism after Modernism; and Clayton Patterson et al. eds., Resistance: A Political History of the Lower East Side.

Let’s talk about the Devil. Corporate Commercialism has sped up to a roar, virtually unopposed. Consumerism is normalized in the mind of the average person, sometimes we even refer to ourselves as consumers forgetting that we are also citizens, humans, men, women, animals. We forget that we share many resources, public spaces, libraries, information, history, sidewalks, streets, schools that we created laws and covenants and govenerments to protect us,, to support us, to help us… The subjugation of these resources and these laws to the forces of the market demands a response.
