Laure Drogoul's social experiment-cum-absurdist sideshow-cum-happiest place on Earth. Right smack in
the middle of the fried-grease and overpriced mojito pit known as the Artscape Food Vourt, Drogoul
corralled a bunch of local artists to put up food-court-esque shacks, only none of them really had
anything to sell. -- From City Paper 12/12/2007 The Year in Art

who is that in
the distance?
Although it references works by Jean Tinguely or Survival Research Lab, the aerial performance defies
artistic classification. Paired with seasoned aerialist Mara Neimanis, Tim Scofield's choreographed
performances go beyond highlighting the mechanical possibilities of his creations. They twist in
unison, connect and then drift slowly down as if floating towards the ocean floor. But surrounding
these moments of suspended grace is constant struggle; the performers often reach towards each other
without making contact, not in the overdramatic way typified in modern dance, but as evidence of a
more humble failing. The impact of the landing is felt; the gears of the machines and the bodily toll
they extract are in constant view. The price of weightlessness is made clear.-- From NYARTS
