What is Artifications???

Artification’s mandate is to bring culture to Hoboken residents in the form of music, quality art, theatre, dance and performance art. In this wonderful city, there is a stunning shortage of art. Artification works with the Monroe center to bring visibility to Hoboken artists while also inviting quality artists to display their art in Hoboken.

American cities undergoing gentrification unknowingly marginalize artists. Through steep rents and a stifling lack of gallery space, artists are forced to look elsewhere for reasonable work and display spaces. In Hoboken, a city that embodies gentrification, Artification is working to reverse that trend, and bring art back to the Mile Square City.

We need your help to do this.

"Whole Thing" December 12th & 13th @ The Monroe Center in Hoboken.





































Artifications Presents: "Whole Thing", A SHUA Group production. A modern dance performance will take place in Room C304 of the Monroe Center for the Arts in Hoboken, NJ, on Friday December 12th and Saturday December 13, 2008. Join us for both performances on Friday and Saturday evening at 8pm (Doors open at 7:30pm).

"Whole Thing" is a 50 minute dance production with live instrumentation integrating both movement and action right into the score. Live musicians are integrated into the performance and the physical space as much as the dancers.

"Whole Thing" was choreographed by Joshua Bisset and Laura Quattrocchi of the SHUA Group based in Jersey City, in collaboration with Brooklyn based composer Stephan Cooper. "Whole Thing" is funded in part by a grant from the American Music Center, a Choreographer/Composer grant.

Artifications is a Hoboken based Arts Organization, headed by Roland Ramos whose recent projects include the 2008 Hudson County Art Slam, "Local Works" Art Show, Hoboken Harvest of the Homeless, and assisted in programming the 2008 Hoboken Artist Studio Tour.

Whole Thing

You have not seen the like of it. The performers who bring Whole Thing into being engage in the intercourse of movement and sound, which gives rise to a flow of fusion that advances throughout the room, snaking around the sensibilities of the audience. As the first beeps, pops, and phonetic spasms kick in, one might begin to wonder, Is the whole thing going to be like that?
yes.
The Whole Thing... and is a testament to innovation in performance art.
