About
Steeped in research, Ellie Ga’s performances and video installations occupy a space between history, science, myth, and memory. For this event, Ga presents two narrative-based performances accompanied by projections of photographs, video, and annotated sketches. Eureka, a lighthouse play (2012–14) follows the artist’s exploration of the Lighthouse of Alexandria while The Fortunetellers (2007–11) ruminates on the rituals of life aboard a scientific research vessel in the Arctic. The program concludes with a reception and exhibition viewing ofStorylines: Contemporary Art at the Guggenheim.
