VisionIntoArt:
"…a theater of spectacle and sensation...as surprising a moment as any I've ever seen." Steve Smith, TimeOut NY
Collaborating across forms and cultures, VisionIntoArt creates transmedia works drawn from today. Transcending genre--from New Music to Geopolitics--VIA challenges audiences to see and hear art differently. A diverse, multi-disciplinary collective, inhabiting sound and sharing process, VisionIntoArt embraces the role of the artist as public intellectual and political touchstone.VIA performances have been described as "Mesmerizing…an ambitious leap into the realm of genre synthesis…" by DanceInsider.com, and “…ingeniously staged concert pieces that gracefully walk the line between opera and performance art" by TimeOut New York.
VisionIntoArt was founded in 1999 at the Juilliard School with the aim of attracting a larger and more diverse audience to contemporary art. This collective of compelling emerging artists—a Nuyorican Prize winning poet, a Sundance nominated filmmaker, award-winning composers and writers, and critically acclaimed musicians and actor—works together to create innovative programs that brim with artistic and intellectual virtuosity. VIA performances lead audiences through an exploration of interdisciplinary languages; they inquire into the role of creative expression in a democratic society.
The group has performed in such venues as Lincoln Center, BAM Café, Symphony Space, the Whitney Museum, and maintains a busy touring schedule appearing at colleges and universities in the US, and international festivals such as Apertif in Concerto at Teatro Manzoni and Etna Fest in Italy. VIA is grateful to the support of NYSCA, LMCC, AMC CAP Grants, ASCAP, the Kenan Institute, Nathan Cummings Foundation, National Video Resources, Council on Foundations and individual donors.
