— Truppe Fledermaus are the theatrical division of the Royal Excavation Corps, founded by Kahn & Selesnick. This Weimar-era Dadaist cabaret puppet theatre troupe employs elaborate and precarious costumes, masks and props to tell tales of a bat-centric ecological tragedy brought on by an unforeseen side effect of the modern era’s quest for speed, intercontinental travel and exploration. Surprise dramatic performances, ledgerdemain and acrobatics will be documented in still and motion pictures for those unable to witness, react or confront them live. When the troupe is not in residence, visitors may find the Royal Excavation Corps making onsite fabrications and maintenance checks; the theatre and props remain on view, accompanied by video projections and terra cotta dioramas.

Kahn & Selesnick have been represented by (hi)story labor(atory)’s next-door neighbor Carrie Haddad Gallery since 1995, and have been showing their fictional narrative photographs and installations in over a hundred shows in galleries and museums worldwide since 1988. http://www.kahnselesnick.com

Die Truppe Fledermaus collaborator Sarah Falkner is a writer, artist and practitioner/provider/producer of healing arts services, education, community activist projects & matériel. http://www.sarahfalkner.com & http://ramshackle-utopia.blogspot.com/

—Ryder Cooley’s XIMALIA features songs about extinction with ukulele, singing saw, projections, taxidermy and more! http://ximalia.tumblr.com/, http://carolynrydercooley.org/

—Vanessa Haroutunian’s pure&magicalpussypower: a documentary is about Miranda July's Joanie4Jackie video chainletter from the 90's, with interviews by Miranda July, Vanessa Renwick, Gretchen Hogue, Myra Paci, Annie Mirabona, Goddess Kring, Ed Halter & footage from over 50 Joanie4Jackie videos.

— (hi)story labor(atory) is in fellowship, form, and function a set of conjoined triplets:


(hi)story labor(atory) v.1 (August 2010-January 2011):
SARTORIAL GOODS & SERVICES: Vilma Maré,
ARTIFACTS: Royal Excavation Corps,
HEALING ARTS CLINIC/APOTHECARY: Sarah Falkner, LMT


(hi)story labor(atory) v.2 (February-August 2011):
MEMORY THEATRE: Royal Excavation Corps
EXHIBITION, PERFORMANCE & PROJECT SPACE: Curated by Nicholas Kahn & Sarah Falkner
HEALING ARTS CLINIC/APOTHECARY: Sarah Falkner, LMT


v.1 collaborator Vilma Maré departed on annual sabbatical to her native Lithuania to make way for v.2’s new projects and configurations. Vilma will return in August 2011 with a new line of post-modern deconstructive fashions to launch (hi)story labor(atory) v.3


(hi)story labor(atory) v.1-3 invokes as tutelary spirit the three-ring circus. Its collaborative environment of disparate and diverse elements—united by their devotion to the cultivation of aestheticism, community, accessibility, and experimentation—foments odd fusions and startling recontextualizations its collaborators find fertile and catalyzing for their practices.
