MICHAEL McDONOUGH . 100 Nights
Michael McDonough is an architect, farmer, artist, and writer.
He created 100 NIghts: Calling Back as an homage to The Clash's "London Calling" and the band's political activism.
The show -- which links generations of artists from the 1980s East Village art movement to today -- can be understood in the spirit of the Situationist International movement in mid- to late-1960s France, particularly in the notion of "a game of events."
By suggesting connections between and among post-Punk music and performance, local farms, depleted COVID-19 food banks, and art, his intent is to challenge prevailing categorical realities and suggest new possibilities.
The show is intended to appear over 100 nights in locations yet to be determined, these unified by a sense of aiding and building communities through generational disruption.
