Conversation about the project "Indecent Spaces" with Jonah Bokaer, Hala Shah, and Isaiah João at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University. "Indecent Spaces" is a project from the creative teams of Jonah Bokaer Choreography, Partner–In–Charge Charles Renfro of Diller, Scofidio + Renfro – DS+R, and Isang Yun, interpreted by violinists Angela & Jennifer Chun. Born in part of the COVID–19 pandemic, Indecent Spaces is a multi–channel performance art and media piece exploring connections between a location's meaning, citizenship and identity in the evolving 21st–century American landscape. Though today's climate may seem to some removed from patriotic origins and idyllic intent, the collaborators' examination reveals forgotten voices and bodily impact ever present through our nation's history — aspirations of a more perfect union, albeit a complex one. http://jcsm.auburn.edu/exhibitions/indecent-spaces/

“Choreography is always, also, a Visual Art… The etymology of crisis is very productive and constructive because krísis in the Greco-Roman etymology is what happens when there is a germ in the body, so this heat from the krísis creates fever, and fever and the breaking of fever tends to flush out the germ. Healing the germ through crisis is the etymology. And crisis gave birth and rebirth to criticism. Criticism and crisis have the same root word.”Jonah Bokaer is an international choreographer and media artist known for his groundbreaking cross-disciplinary collaborations. Bokaer's dances and films have been presented at the Guggenheim, MoMA PS1, the New Museum, the Whitney, and many other venues across 34 countries. He has received dozens of awards and grants, including a 2015 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, two New York Dance and Performance "Bessie" Awards, and a Rockefeller New York City Cultural Innovation Award.· http://jonahbokaer.net· www.creativeprocess.info

“Healing is also a subgenre of dance. So, you can do bodywork and heal. You can do yoga and heal. You can practice certain kinds of dance, the curanderos have done and many folkloric kinds of dance, which heal you."Jonah Bokaer is an international choreographer and media artist known for his groundbreaking cross-disciplinary collaborations.

The title dancer-choreographer only captures a small fraction of what Jonah Bokaer actually does. To be sure, he has been dancing professionally for his entire adult life, starting fresh out of UNCSA as the Merce Cunningham Company’s youngest-ever dancer and touring the world before creating his own company in Brooklyn. He is also, however, a trained visual artist who dissolves boundaries between the visual arts and dancing. Not surprisingly, therefore, his choreography has been featured in museums all over the world, often in conjunction with or in response to a particular exhibit. Finally, in the last 18 years, Jonah has opened two affordable studio spaces for interdisciplinary artists in Brooklyn and an arts incubator in Hudson, NY, where he currently lives. All three arts properties were overseen, structured, and supported by Jonah Bokaer Arts Foundation, with its Board and Staff.   Jonah spoke with Rob Kramer and Pier Carlo Talenti from his home in Hudson. In this interview, he gives us an insight into how he cut his teeth on non-profit leadership and practice starting at the age of 20 while continuing to explore and expand his artistic practice. He also explains how he manages to keep his head above water through unexpected challenges, past and present.
