This is your last week to check out video art by Liz Johnson Artur, Arthur Jafa, Steffani Jemison, Ahmed Mater, Marilyn Minter, Wangechi Mutu, Rashaad Newsome, Ebony G. Patterson, Sable Elyse Smith, Tourmaline, Nari Ward with Zachary Fabri, and Sasha Wortzel, before Art on the Stoop: Sunset Screenings shifts to its second program! This first program, running through October 11, explores themes of power and uncertainty, distance and loss, and history’s hand in our present times, and the three videos featured here ruminate on how space and place impact lives and history. In This is an Address I, Sasha Wortzel explores the precarity of unhoused LGBTQ+ people living on Manhattan’s Gansevoort Penninsula in 1995, and more recent construction on the pier.  Sable Elyse Smith’s How We Tell Stories to Children, is a tender narrative of connection despite enforced distance, incorporating found footage, audio of the artist reading, and videos recorded by her father while incarcerated. Finally, Ahmed Mater’s Leaves Fall in All Seasons combines video footage of construction, destruction, and labor rights protests shot by workers across a decade of rapid development in the Islamic holy city Mecca. Check out the schedule on our website to make plans to experience these highlights of our video art collection!   Sasha Wortzel (born Fort Myers, Florida, 1983) This is an Address I, 2019 [Still].
