The Future is For/Boating

June 30, 2024

Staten Island Ferry

Presented by ACOMPI and David Peter Francis,The Future is For/Boating is a newly commissioned processional performance by Pat Oleszko on the Staten Island Ferry. Passing various New York City landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Oleszko’s absurd voyage draws attention toward rising sea levels, a recurring interest across her five-decade career. The performance is presented on the occasion of Oleszko’s first solo show in over two decades, Pat's Imperfect Present Tense.

A younger generation of the city’s premiere experimental performers, Amando Houser, Abby Lloyd, and Alex Tatarskypresent new works that dialogue with those of Oleszko.
