PPP Fridays@2: Eiko Otake Discusses Her Project I Invited Myself

Join PPP's Fridays@2 speaker series for an artist talk with Eiko Otake about her current project, I Invited Myself. 

The Performance as Public Practice Fridays@2 speaker series facilitates discussions about the creation and study of performance. PPP welcomes artists from within and beyond the Winship Drama Building, including current students, distinguished alumni and arts leaders from across the country, to share their research and methodology. Up next is an artist talk with Eiko Otake about her current project, I Invited Myself. 

Eiko Otake will give an artist talk about her current project, I Invited Myself, a multi-volume installation for art galleries which features choreography of place, movements of both performer and viewers, along with projections of selected video and film works created by Eiko over the last 40 years. I Invited Myself is not a legacy project or a retrospective; however, its objectives are to display Eiko’s trajectory as visual landscape for her performances. By doing so, Eiko hopes to contextualize her current body for diverse generations of audiences now and in the future.
