NEW YORK, NY.- This summer, the New Museum will present “Joints Array” a multimedia installation by the groundbreaking video artist Charles Atlas (b. 1949, St. Louis, Missouri). For more than forty years, Atlas has explored the possibilities of filmed movement and time-based portraiture through a melding of narrative, fiction, documentation, technological innovation, and precise editing. Since 2003, he has been creating live-edited works presented in the exhibition space, as a performance, and, later on, as completed works. Atlas’s films, videos, installations, performances, set, and lighting designs have involved collaborations with leading figures in dance, music, and art, including Cunningham, Marina Abramović, Antony and the Johnsons, Leigh Bowery, Michael Clark, Fennesz, Bill Irwin, John Kelly, Yvonne Rainer, and, most recently, Mika Tajima and New Humans. “Charles Atlas: Joints Array” will
