LoVid is an interdisciplinary artist duo comprised of Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus who have been collaborating for over twelve years and married nearly as long. LoVid’s range is wide: they perform using hand-made electronics and interactive choreographies, they create sculpture, video, prints, and large scale installations. Their work combines materials both “hard” (electronic and wireless technologies, scientific data) and “soft” (fabric, paper, human bodies). For more on LoVid, go here.

Check Out Our Poster for the September 10th Reading!
Thanks to Natalie Molina for our new First Person Plural Harlem posters. Our co-founder Stacy Parker Le Melle takes photographs all over Harlem and Natalie turns them into art! We love how Natalie brings out the complex textures of our neighborhood (check out her designs at http://pistoladesign.com). Natalie has designed all of our posters so far, and she’ll be rolling out a new design for each of the four FPP readings this season. Check back for more great visuals! And mark your calendars: the first FPP reading of the season will be at Shrine on September 10th, featuring Paul La Farge, art duo LoVid, and Lynne Tillman.
Margo Jefferson Interviewed on The Aviary Online
Check out this great interview of Margo Jefferson by FPP Harlem co-founder Amy Benson in the February 2012 issue of The Aviary Online.
In the interview, Jefferson says:
If you love something aren’t you always conned by it? We claim not to believe the word “objective” anymore, we want to believe we can master it somehow. And yet we have to have some element of belief. Belief is surrender, it’s yielding up your capacities even to necessarily be on equal terms with something.
