Through the Open Window: Ralph Lemon and the Legacy of Dance at P.S.1

The choreographer, writer, and visual artist Ralph Lemon has likened the presentation of dance within a contemporary art museum to the event of a bird flying unexpectedly into a house through an open window. There is a disorienting change in air pressure and temperature from the perspective of the bird, and a dizzying disruption of atmosphere for those already in the room. A potentially productive meeting arises from two very different positions.
On the occasion of Lemon’s major solo show at MoMA PS1, Ceremonies Out of the Air: Ralph Lemon, exhibition curators Connie Butler, T. Lax, and Kari Rittenbach placed equal emphasis on the drawings, films, sculptural objects, and remnants made by Lemon and his collaborators, and the ambitious program of performances rehearsed on site and staged monthly for museum audiences. The ebb and flow of Lemon’s ceremonies engage with the material traces occupying the very same building. In some cases, art objects and sonic elements even travel between the porous realm of live performance and the secure climate-controlled room—virtuosically upending the values conventionally held in either setting.

For over a decade, artists Enzo Camacho (Filipino, b. 1985) and Ami Lien (American, b. 1987) have amplified local forms of survival and resistance, with particular attention to the Philippines. On the occasion of their first major US museum exhibition Offerings for Escalante, on view at MoMA PS1 through February 17, the duo discuss their historical and material research on the island of Negros, with both documentary and indexical approaches to embodying the land. Camacho and Lien’s interests materialize in two of their recent works on view in the exhibition, Langit Lupa (2023) and Decomposition Animation (2023), which recently entered the collection of The Museum of Modern Art. The conversation with Chief Curator Ruba Katrib triangulates the social and environmental concerns of artists and activists across The Philippines, its diaspora, and New York.
