Ellie Ga Performs The Fortunetellers & Eureka, a Lighthouse Play
June 30, 2015, 6:30 pm
at Solomon R. Guggenheim

Steeped in research, Ellie Ga’s performances and video installations occupy a space between history, science, myth, and memory. For this event, Ga presents two narrative-based performances taking the form of lectures accompanied by projections of photographs, video, and annotated sketches. Eureka, a lighthouse play (2012–14) follows the artist’s exploration of the Lighthouse of Alexandria while The Fortunetellers (2007–11) ruminates on the rituals of life aboard a scientific research vessel in the Arctic. The program concludes with a reception and exhibition viewing of Storylines: Contemporary Art at the Guggenheim. Total run time, including a 30 minute intermission, of the performance is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Admission: $15, $10 members, $5 students. Tickets and more information available here.
