The Blue Rider in Performance
Sept. 25, Guggenheim Museum, 1071 5th Ave. (at E. 89th St.) 212-423-3500; 8, $7 and up World War I fucked up a lot of things. One of the happiest casualties is resurrected tonight for those bourgeois folks lucky enough to get tickets. The Blue Rider Almanac of 1912 was the journal of an avant-garde international collective—Kandinsky was a member—that straddled borders and media and was interrupted when that dude shot that other dude and then a bunch of dudes shot each other. Tonight, the spirit is resurrected with song, dance and light shows.Bottom Line: The avant-garde of the early 20th century’s is still pretty edgy almost a century later.
