orensanz

A chance meeting with the director of the Angel Orensanz Foundation, Dr. Al Orensanz in the late 1990s led to a friendship and collaboration on several film and visual art projects with his brother, the artist Angel Orensanz, at their majestic 19th century synagogue turned art space. 

In addition to the group show I curated in the summer of 2002, I worked on a number of experimental films with Angel, including the video below which is a slight re-edit of a piece I did as part of a series on the New York art scene for Japan's Sky Perfect Television.

Angel also showed the above film at his exhibitions in Germany in 2002. After a screening attended by the mayor of Cologne, the mayor invited Angel to re-create the the park and fountain scene with local public school children at an event celebrating world peace that was covered by ZDF and other German media.
