KAROLE ARMITAGE + DAVID SALLE
ARMITAGE GONE! DANCE
Karole Armitage began her professional career in 1973 as a member of the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, Switzerland. Throughout the 80s, she led her own New York-based dance company. Armitage was invited by Mikhail Baryshnikov to create a work for American Ballet Theater and in 1987, she was asked by Rudolph Nureyev to create her fourth dance for the Paris Opera Ballet. In 1990, Armitage served as director of MaggioDanze in Florence, Italy. She returned to New York and formed her current company Armitage Gone! Dance in 2005. Armitage has created dances for numerous companies including the White Oak Dance Project, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, Lyon Opera Ballet, Ballet Nacional de Cuba, the Washington Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and the Rambert Dance Company. Armitage has received many honors including a Guggenheim Fellowship for Choreography (1986), the Grand Prix Roscigno Danze, Italy (2005), and France’s highest arts award, Commandeur dans L’ordre des Arts et des Lettres (2007).
David Salle’s work helped define the post-modern sensibility by combining figuration with an extremely varied pictorial language. Salle has had over seventy-five solo exhibitions in the United States and abroad, and his work is included in numerous museum collections in America, Europe, and Asia. In 1987 he had a mid-career retrospective at the Whitney Museum in New York, which traveled to several museums in the United States and Canada. In 1999 a retrospective exhibition opened at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam which traveled to the Museum Moderne Kunst, Vienna; Castello di Rivoli, Turin; and the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao. He is a long–time collaborator with choreographer Karole Armitage, designing sets and costumes for many of her dance productions. He also worked with Richard Foreman, and received a Guggenheim fellowship for theater design in 1986. In 1994-95 he directed the feature film Search & Destroy, starring Griffin Dunne and Christopher Walken. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
Armitage and Salle have collaborated on new dance productions combining his set designs and her choreography that reflect the 21st century trend towards convergence and integration of genres for new and exciting cross-cultural work.
