#charles atlas
In celebration of Pride during the month of June, we’re highlighting works from three Whitney Collection artists who have either identified with, or fought for, the LGBTQ community through their art. The pioneering video artist Charles Atlas has brought together dance, performance, and media for nearly four decades. Here, see a still from his work, What I Did Last Summer—a three-part chronicle of queer nightlife in New York in the early 90s—shown as a part of the exhibition Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney’s Collection.

Charles Atlas on Judson Dance Theater
Artist and filmmaker Charles Atlas arrived in New York shortly after the heyday of Judson Dance Theater, and set out to build on and challenge their expanded notion of dance. “When it came to do my own work, I was looking for another way to go… Every generation does something different from the generation before,” he says. Together with Merce Cunningham, Atlas developed “video dance”—works created directly for and incorporating movements of the camera—before going on to have an acclaimed career in his own right.
Atlas reflects on his Judson Dance Theater installation, now on view in our Marron Atrium, and what it was like to revisit Judson’s history in a new interview: mo.ma/atlasonjudson
