UnionDocs @ MoMA

This Saturday, February 20th at 8pm, UnionDocs has been invited to showcase its collaborative work as part of MoMA's Documentary Fortnight. You may understand UnionDocs as a venue for exciting nonfiction programming and great discussions with artists, but it also has a history of creative group production that you'll be interested to check out.

Following the MoMA presentation, we will head over to The Space

in Long Island City for our official benefit event.

The presentation, Inductive Thread, promises to be an exciting multi-faceted event, weaving together short works in video, radio, photography, written essay, and live performance. The first part of the show touches on the history of the organization, its rotating body of participants, and their collaborative exploration of topics from the death of payphones to the popularity of currywurst.

The second part will premiere a brand new project from the newly minted UnionDocs Collaborative. This is the year-long program for non-fiction media research and group production that you might remember us launching in September. Twelve young artists coming from diverse backgrounds were selected to participate in this endeavor. With no previous experience together, they have been working to produce a project which assembles a variety of inter-related stories, each approaching the task of documentary from a different angle. Partly inspired by Roland Barthes classic Mythologies, a slim volume from 1957 composed of many short but revelatory essays, this ongoing multi-media project seeks to interrogate some of the myths that underlie everyday life.

We are very grateful for this opportunity to share some of the work that has come out of 322 Union in the past five years, and we hope you will join us.
