In Nick van Woert: Terra Amata, an exhibition of new works, Brooklyn-based sculptor Nick van Woert borrows icons from the past, referencing the ideals of former generations, and overlaps them with more familiar contemporary materials.
The work illustrates a chronology of forms and ideas encompassing everything from classical sculpture, the Donner Party, and Henry David Thoreau, to Ted Kaczynski, Pruitt-Igoe, and 6221 Osage Avenue. The exhibition's title refers to an archaeological site in the South of France where it is believed fire was first used domestically.
This event is part of Fiction & Non-Fiction, one of Crossing the Line 2011's three curatorial program perspectives.

Godard’s debut collaboration with Denis is a potent realization of the real-life couple who murdered more than twenty women in 1980s Paris. As filtered through the impressions of a young Lithuanian (Golubeva), the killings form a shocking introduction to the normally revered city. Denis’ trademark languid style and pacing flourish throughout.
Agnès Godard appears in a Q&A with Kent Jones, filmmaker and film critic for Film Comment and Cahiers du Cinema.
Many would call Beau Travail Denis’s masterpiece, thanks in no small part to Godard’s hypnotic depiction of Djibouti, which won her a César for Best Cinematography. As a Foreign Legionnaire (Levant) reflects on his career, the commander he devoted himself to (and the fractious, jealous relationships he developed with a young soldier) continue to pierce his memory.
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE BAILLY
Writer, poet, playwright, publisher, philosopher; author of Le Versant animal (The Animal Side, Fordham University Press, 2011); L’Instant et son ombre; Le Temps fixé
Le Versant animal
Jean-Christophe Bailly founded and directed the magazines Fin de siècle (1974-1977) and Aléa (1981-1989), and was in charge of the series Détroits for Christian Bourgois éditeur. Bailly has taught at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Nature et du Paysage de Blois since 1997 and he frequently collaborates with directors and painters. He is the author of Le Versant animal (The Animal Side, Fordham University Press, 2011); L’Instant et son ombre; Le Temps fixé.
This sublime and poetic new work by Rachid Ouramdane examines the effects of a violent past on bodies and minds. Based on extensive conversations with survivors of torture, the piece portrays violence as a withdrawal from humanity through dance. The artist probes the limitations of barbarity, exploring how the body transforms itself in the extreme tests of endurance. He shares portraits of those who have experienced the unimaginable, highlighting the repeated use of violence at a time when torture appears to be tolerated and even used legitimately on the global stage. A moving testimony to the extraordinary power of the human spirit.
This event is part of Endurance/Resistance/Inspiration, one of Crossing the Line 2011's three curatorial program perspectives.
"From show to show, Ouramdane raises questions about his roots or about the world around him. Here with a striking quintet of performers, he delves back into war and its consequences; exile and its wound."—Les Échos
