FORT POINT OF VIEW
Tuesday January 13- Saturday February 6, 2009
Reception Saturday January 17, 3- 6pm
A former industrial warehouse district, Fort Point Channel, Boston has been home to hundreds of artists for nearly 30 years. To open 2009, 119 Gallery has invited a group of “visiting artists” to Lowell. Over 20 artists represent one of Boston’s oldest and most fertile Boston artists’ neighborhoods. The artwork ranges from traditional media to hybrid techniques that defy description: book art, collage, drawing, drawing on film, illuminated sculpture, illustration, painting, photography sculpture, and wall panels. Curated by Joanne Kaliontzis.
Martin Berinstein, Linda Leslie Brown, Carolyn Callahan, Anna Comella, Maggie Connors, Laura Davidson, Rebecca Leviss Dwyer, Claire Eder, Don Eyles, Todd Gieg, Mike Hammecker, Peter Harris, James Kalambokis, Lisa Knox, Jennifer Lewis, Jennifer Moses, Timothy Murdoch, Andrew Neumann, Sean O’Brien, Ann Scott, Jeff Smith, Sylvia Stagg-Giuliano, Lenore Tenenblatt, Douglass Urbank, Andrew Woodward

Martial Improvisation Class with Mike Klinger
Cultivating Power not Force
Sunday December 14 10am- 2pm
Martial Improvisation combines the principles of Aikido, Contact Improvisation and Feldenkrais to create a dynamic movement form. Through exercises in stillness, slow skeletal movements and partner work, the individual gains greater ease of movement, awareness, relaxation and insight into areas of tension. The movement form has been variously described as “Tai Chi’s push hands with the whole body” or an “Authentic Movement duet”. This “inside out” approach to movement cultivates calm, energy and facilitates ease of movement.
Mike Klinger has a Black Belt in Aikido, having studied 15 years with Kanai Sensei. He has a Masters degree in Movement Therapy. He has studied, taught and performed Contact Improvisation for 25 years. His studies with Feldenkrais movement include classes with Ruth Alon, Anat Baniel, Olivia Cheever and Bill Hutchinson. Additional movement form influences include Capoeira, Tai Chi and Shintaido.
To register, contact Paris Kiely, pkkiely@aol.com
Supported in part with a grant from Lowell Cultural Council and Massachusetts Cultural Council.
