DIVERSEWORKS IS A LEADER IN THE NATIONWIDE MOVEMENT OF ARTIST-CENTERED ORGANIZATIONS AND IS A VITAL PRESENCE IN NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE NATIONAL PERFORMANCE NETWORK, THE VISUAL ARTISTS NETWORK, AND THE NATIONAL DANCE PROJECT. DIVERSEWORKS SERVES AS A FORUM FOR ISSUES AND WORKS THAT HAVE NO OTHER PUBLIC OUTLET IN HOUSTON, AND PLAYS A SIMILAR ROLE NATIONALLY. DIVERSEWORKS PROVIDES FIRST-TIME COMMISSIONING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMERGING ARTISTS, CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR INNOVATIVE MID-CAREER ARTISTS, AND ACTS AS A LAUNCHING PAD FOR YOUNG ARTISTS AND ARTS ORGANIZATIONS. DIVERSEWORKS SUPPORTS ARTISTS AND PROJECTS THAT INSPIRE DIALOGUE ABOUT CONTEMPORARY CULTURE AMONG ARTISTS, AUDIENCES, AND THE GREATER COMMUNITY. DIVERSEWORKS IS A LOCAL AND NATIONAL SOURCE FOR HIGH QUALITY EXPERIENTIAL AND PROGRESSIVE WORKS OF ART THAT COMPEL VIEWERS TO BROADEN THEIR PERCEPTIONS OF WHAT ART IS AND HOW ART CAN BE A CRITICAL TOOL FOR ADDRESSING SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND AESTHETIC CONCERNS. MAJOR PROGRAMS IN 2013-14: THE ELEVENTH HOUR, SEPTEMBER 7 - OCTOBER 12, 2013 THE ELEVENTH HOUR, A GROUP EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTING A HISTORY OF URGENCY AND ACTIVISM AT DIVERSEWORKS, WHILE REVISITING ISSUES SUCH AS HOMELESSNESS, AIDS ACTIVISM, GENDER EQUALITY, CENSORSHIP, AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH THAT REMAIN CRITICAL TODAY. HEATHER AND IVAN MORISON: SLYK CHAYNJIS, NOVEMBER 2 - DECEMBER 28, 2013 UK-BASED ARTISTS HEATHER AND IVAN MORISON WERE COMMISSIONED BY DIVERSEWORKS TO CREATE THEIR FIRST MAJOR INSTITUTIONAL PROJECT IN THE UNITED STATES. THEIR WORK TAKES VARIOUS FORMS AND HAS INCLUDED FILM, SCULPTURE AND PUBLIC ART, THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL PERFORMANCES, LITERATURE, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. FOR DIVERSEWORKS, THE MORISONS HAVE DEVELOPED AN EXPANSIVE NARRATIVE THAT INCLUDES A GALLERY EXHIBITION AND MOBILE PUBLIC PERFORMANCES. SLYK CHAYNJIS IS BOTH THE NAME OF THE EXHIBITION AND THE PROTAGONIST IN A FICTIONAL NARRATIVE ABOUT AN UNLIKELY PAIR OF TRAVELERS ON AN EPIC JOURNEY. THE MORISONS' DARK COMEDY UNFOLDS OVER THE COURSE OF SIX ACTS AND IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS-INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF DIVERSEWORKS-AND UNPACKS THE CONSTRUCTION OF "SELF" AS A PERFORMANCE PROVOKED BY PERSONAL TRAUMA, PSYCHOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN, AND ETHICAL DISCREPANCY. FAIFAI: ANTON, NEKO, KURI, DECEMBER 6 & 7, 2013 FAIFAI, AN EXPERIMENTAL THEATER COMPANY BASED IN TOKYO, TRAVELED TO DIVERSEWORKS ON THEIR FIRST US TOUR. COMBINING POP VISUALS, GRAFFITI-LIKE BODY MOVEMENTS, AND POLYPHONIC SOUNDSCAPES, ANTON, NEKO, KURI FOLLOWS THE ALTERNATINGLY HUMOROUS AND POIGNANT TRAVAILS OF A STRAY CAT. FAIFAI USES UNCONVENTIONAL PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUES - INCLUDING CUTTING UP, SAMPLING AND TRANSFORMING PERFORMERS' WORDS INTO MUSIC, AND INVITING AUDIENCE INTERVENTION - IN ORDER TO BLEND DISCIPLINES, GENERATE NEW REALITIES, AND REVEAL THE CREATIVE PROCESS. SONICWORKS, JANUARY 11 - MARCH 1, 2014 SONICWORKS WAS A MULTI-PLATFORM EXHIBITION THAT EXPLORED THE EXPANDING FIELD OF EXPERIMENTAL SOUND ART AND PRACTICE. FOCUSING ON CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS WHO UTILIZE A VARIETY OF MATERIALS FROM THE CONVENTIONAL TO THE ABSURD, SONICWORKS FEATURED DISCRETE SOUND WORKS, SCULPTURAL INTERVENTION, MULTI-MEDIA INSTALLATIONS, AND LIVE PERFORMANCES. IN ADDITION TO SURVEYING CURRENT SOUND WORKS, THE EXHIBITION ALSO CONSIDERS HOW DIVERSEWORKS, AN EARLY AND ACTIVE COMMISSIONER OF SONIC IDEAS, HAS INFLUENCED THE CREATION AND RECEPTION OF EXPERIMENTAL SOUND IN HOUSTON AND THE REGION. WU TSANG: MOVED BY THE MOTION, MARCH 15 - MAY 3, 2014 DIVERSEWORKS COMMISSIONED LOS ANGELES-BASED ARTIST WU TSANG TO CREATE A MULTI-MEDIA INSTALLATION AND PERFORMANCE THAT INHABITS A SPACE BETWEEN FICTION AND DOCUMENTARY. TSANG IS AN AWARD-WINNING FILMMAKER AND PERFORMER, WHO EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF, IDENTITY, AND THE NARRATIVES THAT CONSTRUCT THEM. THIS NEW PROJECT TAKES AS A POINT OF DEPARTURE THE QUESTION OF UNDERGROUND/SUB-CULTURES WITHIN A TRANS-NATIONAL CONTEXT. MOVED BY THE MOTION FEATURES A 2-CHANNEL FILM INSTALLATION THAT EXPLORES THE SENSORIAL POTENTIAL OF PICTURES IN RELATION TO NARRATIVE. WORKING IN A TRADITION OF ARTIST-FILMMAKERS, TSANG LOOKS AT THE ROLE THAT FANTASY PLAYS IN REPRESENTING SOCIAL MOVEMENTS. EVOKING "THE UNDERGROUND" AS A SITE OF CULTURAL RESISTANCE, HE CONSIDERS HOW THESE CONSTRUCTS HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED BY CONTEMPORARY LIFE AND SOCIAL MEDIA. KAREN SHERMAN: ONE WITH OTHERS, MAY 2 & 3, 2014 DANCE, WORDS, AND SCRAP WOOD ARE THE RAW MATERIALS FOR MINNEAPOLIS-BASED KAREN SHERMAN'S ONE WITH OTHERS, AN EXAMINATION OF WHO WE BECOME DUE TO THE CHOICES WE MAKE - OR THAT OTHERS MAKE FOR US.
