YOSHIKO CHUMA AND THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS

Yoshiko Chuma and the School of Hard Knocks in-residence in Buffalo for workshops and performance, THE HOUSING PROJECT. Performers from the community, who will be selected from performance workshops to take place in the gallery (during the first two weeks of May), will construct a 40'x30'x15' house designed by sculptor/artist Jeffrey Brosk in and around Buffalo. The Performance celebrates the raw kinetic rhythms of the street that the School of Hard Knocks has been cultivating for several years.  [NOTE: Video documentation of an associated event from May 17, 1985, possibly shot on location at M&T Plaza, is at the Hallwalls archive in the Poetry Collection, a special collection of the State University of New York at Buffalo Libraries; this documentation has been preserved and digitized for access. Video documentation of THE HOUSING PROJECT is included in a 1985 selection of excerpts which is in the Hallwalls archive at the Poetry Collection.
