Foundation Fighting Blindness Benefit Event: Taste for Sight March 15, 2016, 7-10pm CITY WINERY 155 Varick Street New York, NY 10013 Curated by Quinn Dukes, Founder of Performance Is Alive CURATOR’S STATEMENT // The artist selection for Taste of Sight was determined following a deeply candid conversation with a small group of Stargardt’s survivors. The group shared stories about their initial diagnosis, the challenges of living within a visually-centric generation and above all, identifying beyond their disease - not as their disease. As an extension of this conversation, the performance artists presenting work at Taste for Sight explore elements of meditation, strength and emergence within their artistic practice. – Quinn Dukes ARTISTS // Thomas Albrecht (New Paltz, NY), Butch Merigoni (Brooklyn, NY), Alice Vogler (Boston, MA) Foundation Fighting Blindness MISSION STATEMENT // The urgent mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness is to drive the research that will provide preventions, treatments and cures for people affected by retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher syndrome, and the entire spectrum of retinal degenerative diseases. www.blindness.org
