"Lower Manhattan Cultural Council continues their site-specific performance series, Sitelines, in July with Untitled Corner by Jonah Bokaer and Judith Sanchez Ruiz with Daniel Arsham. Celebrating its sixth anniversary, Sitelines 09 brings to life a highly energized program of provocative dance, set to inspiring imagery and unexpected surroundings. Performed at One Chase Manhattan Plaza, Untitled Corner is a collaboration examining memory loss, pattern recognition, and perceptual faculties as they apply to the human body in public space. Untitled Corner employs site-responsive architecture, objects, lighting, and other media to create the illusion of an expanded space. Original sound score by Alexis Georgopoulos/ARP.

Date: Monday, July 6th
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Barbes (376 9th St., Park Slope)
Cost: Free

The Brooklyn Independent Cinema Series continues this evening with a new short and feature film. The short, The Lost World is "the life, demolition and reconstruction of the Kopaszi dam between 1998 and 2007. A mostly black & white 35mm documentary shot over ten years in a forgotten landscape in the center of Budapest. People living in houseboats and wooden houses, struggling against flood, snow and investors who want them to evict. The second part of The Dike of Transience. And the feature is Seaview. "An hour north of Dublin beside the sea is a bizarre looking collection of grey cement buildings with brightly painted doors, and rusting fairground rides. This is Mosney - Ireland’s Coney Island... A visit to Mosney today presents a radically different picture, but still a picture of escape...is now a camp of another kind, a holding center for asylum seekers from all corners of the globe. Here new residents wait years for the results of their asylum claims. Over three years, the filmmakers lived in Mosney, gaining the trust of the residents. Intensely close conversations reveal their individual stories, from the epic to the everyday."
