MICA RUNWAY 2010 | GREEN FASHIONOLOGY (October 8-10, NY)

MICA RUNWAY is the leading arts and entertainment high-end event in New York City exclusively dedicated to showcasing works by emerging filmmakers, up-and-coming fashion designers, striving talents, literary and visual artists who utilize American Sign Language (ASL). MICA RUNWAY strives to provide access to the film, fashion, art and visual art worlds for these individuals who may be intimidated, oppressed or ignored by the gatekeepers of the elite art, fashion and entertainment industries. 

MICA stands for Multicultural International Consortium of [Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing] Artists and Advocates is celebrating its ten-year Anniversary. This year's theme is GREEN FASHIONOLOGY, fusion of eco-fashion, futuristic and technology. 

We have cultivated a loyal group of a hip, young generation (aged 18-39) who want to keep in touch with new developments in the arts, fashion and technology. These groups of people strive to be in-the-know about the latest happenings, buzz and trends in the city.

ASL-English Interpretation Program

 

“ASL Conceptual Blending Using Visual Media”

 

American Sign Language (ASL) is similar to the “language of film;” both are fully animated and include rich visual cues.  Using movie clips to draw comparisons between the two, you will focus on grammatical features of ASL, such as Surrogate Space, Depicting Verbs (classifiers), and examples of ASL sentence structures. You’ll also practice translating movie clips (verbal and nonverbal language) into ASL using these concepts as well as other ASL features, such as mental-spatial orientations.       

 

Date:      Saturday, September 25, 2010           

Time:      9:00 am to 4:00 pm

Where:   LaGuardia Community College, E-building, Room E-500

Cost:       $80.00

 

 Jason Norman is an ASL instructor, performer, consultant and workshop presenter. He teaches ASL at the University of Pittsburgh and in the Interpreter Education Program at LaGuardia Community College.

 David Rivera, a native of the Bronx, NY, graduated from Lexington School for the Deaf and received his BA in ASL Studies from Gallaudet University and MA in Deaf Education from McDaniel College, MD. In 1997, Mr. Rivera began his ASL teaching career at Gallaudet   University and continues at LaGuardia Community College as an adjunct instructor in the ASL-English Interpretation Program.

Henri Matisse in the Twenty-first Century

Wednesday, September 15, 2010, 6:00 p.m.

Theater 3 (The Celeste Bartos Theater), mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building

Matisse's art continues to be popular, but also to be misunderstood as an art of hedonistic pleasure. This lecture, presented by John Elderfield, Chief Curator Emeritus, Department of Painting and Sculpture, and organizer of the exhibition Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917, explores the important lessons that Matisse's art, and his attitudes towards it, continue to teach us more than a century after he burst into public attention.

In conjunction with the exhibition Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917

Tickets ($10; $8 members; $5 students, seniors, and staff of other museums) can be purchased online or at the lobby information desk and the film desk.
