William and Kathleen Laziza "Above and Beyond"
Micro Museum
This event has ended.
A three-year retrospective of the interdisciplinary art of Kathleen and William Laziza, founders of the Micro Museum where the Brooklyn Rail called them “wickedly inventive” and coinciding with the couple’s 30th year together, opens May 15, 2010. Titled ABOVE & BEYOND and opening in chronological sections over three years, through December 20, 2013, it will feature never-before-seen works, including sensitive sculptures, drawings, wearable art pieces, small assemblages, photographs, performance art works, paintings, videos and free-wheeling style.
The exhibit will be open every Saturday from 12 – 7 PM, and also include many accompanying special events: the kickoff, on May 15, will be a BINGO PARTY. Highlighting the intersection between technology, art and performance is the ABOVE & BEYOND theme reflecting the Laziza’s spontaneous collaborations that produced original interdisciplinary art for over 2 decades. The evolving exhibitions will illustrate different areas of the Laziza’s dynamic force.
ABOVE AND BEYOND was inspired by a recently discovered forgotten suitcase filled with sketchbooks, diagrams of past performance artworks, collages, journals from their worldwide travels in 1979 plus intimate personal writings from the 1970s and ‘80s. Kathleen Laziza says, ”After we got over the shock that we are actually that old…. There was a decision to explore this treasure trove and to skip down memory lane since 2010 is a milestone year for us”. The public is invited to experience the following happenings and visit the eclectic art expression that is pure “Laziza”:
