Everybody Dance Now

September 8 to October 22, 2006 at EFA Gallery, New York • This video exhibition, curated by Kathleen Goncharov, celebrates the universal human urge to move to the beat (although dogs, frogs, bears, ponies, ghosts, and alligators sometimes act as surrogates for people). The title of the exhibition is literal…everyone dances when all these characters move to the groove and show off their collective talent (or lack there of).
