Last Day of Magic was a one-day closed performance of rituals about departure and transformation that took place on March 28th, 2009. The rituals are designed with a personal significance and shamanic purpose. They examine the artist’s interpersonal experiences with belief, sacrifice, loss, disappearance, and memory.
At Orange Alley Project, twelve volunteers reenact the rituals and create their own last day of magic experience.
The video of Last Day of Magic will be screened at Gallery Extrana on Sunday April 26th, at 7:30PM, 2912 Telegraph Ave (between Ashby Ave and Howe St) Berkeley, CA 94705. http://galleryextrana.blogspot.com/
Last Day of Magic will participate to Markers VII at the 53rd Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy. June 5th, 2009.
Last Day of Magic is a project initiated, organized and curated by Jan Van Woensel in the framework of his 2009 cross-departmental class at California College of the Arts, San Francisco, CA. http://www.last--day--of--magic.blogspot.com Jan Van Woensel is an independent curator based in New York City and the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of New York Magazine of Contemporary Art and Theory http://www.ny-magazine.org
