BARYSHNIKOV ARTS CENTER (BAC) is the realization of a long-held vision by artistic director Mikhail Baryshnikov to

build an arts center in New York City that would serve as a gathering place for artists from all disciplines.

BAC’s opening in 2005 heralded the launch of this mission, establishing a creative laboratory and performance space

for artists from around the world. BAC’s activities encompass a thriving residency program augmented by a range

of professional services, including commissions of new work, as well as the presentation of performances by artists

at varying stages of their careers. In tandem with its commitment to supporting artists, BAC is dedicated to building

audiences for the arts by presenting contemporary, innovative work at affordable ticket prices.

This exhibition would not have been possible without the continual enthusiasm and support

of Stefano, Riccarda, Federico and Cristian Contini. The entire team at ContiniART UK has

been tremendous, especially Diego Giolitti.

In the making of this exhibition I deeply thank Vladimir Radunsky, Philippe Laumont,

Alison Bradshaw, Kate Kosek, and Huong Hoang for their attention to detail and quality.

Always, to my wonderful staff at Baryshnikov Arts Center.

And above all, my wife Lisa Rinehart and our family for their love, patience, and support.

For two decades I used a conventional 35mm camera and practiced traditional landscapes,

portraits, and travel shots, primarily in black and white. I made a point of rejecting obvious

opportunities to photograph dance, thinking the results were boring and unnecessary.

Then, going through some old books of dance photography—notably Alexey Brodovitch’s

Ballet, and Paul Himmel’s 1954 Ballet in Action—I discovered that abandoning the crystalline

image in favor of blurred edges and amorphous figures approximates the excitement of dance

in performances. Ilse Bing’s mesmerizing images of CanCan dancers at the Moulin Rouge, as

well as her photos of Balanchine’s Errante, and perhaps most importantly, the recent images of

Alexandra Beller in Dancer by Irving Penn, were further evidence that the thrill of movement

can be captured without being destroyed. Edwin Denby, the late poet and influential dance

critic, described this process eloquently in the text accompanying Brodovitch’s photographs.

“…the blurred outline of the dancer, assimilated to the general dim effect, registers as a

metaphor of motion. Sometimes the misty shape that joins successive points through which the

dancer’s body has passed astonishes you by the clarity of its graphic design, and it illustrates

the plastic continuity of dancing. Here and there the contrast on a picture between blurred and

clear outlines draws your eye to the position of a still figure that on stage might have passed

unnoticed in the hubbub, but that in the photograph reveals its momentary pathos.”

So it was possible.

I am both humbled and honored by the opportunity to show my work at the ContiniArt UK Gallery.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

Page 7: Mikhail Baryshnikov - Dancing Away - ContiniArtUK

Here in the West, we first saw Mikhail Baryshnikov as a member of the Kirov (now Mariinsky)

Ballet company. A considerable reputation had preceded him – talk percolated out of Soviet-

era Leningrad about a young dancer of prodigious gifts – and the astonishing truth of this was

to be the bare fact of his dancing career in the West thereafter. A distinguishing quality of his

dancing then, and of all his performances in dance and theatre thereafter, was and remains

clarity of image which combined marvellous physical resource with an emotional and dramatic

potency. His performances spoke on several levels: of commanding grace and urgency; of clear

dramatic outline; of an intelligence that sought – and found – justification for movement on

terms both theatrical and questioning. If I mention these qualities it is because in everything

that I have seen Baryshnikov dance, from his earliest prodigies as an artist on the very brink

of greatness to the later, intellectually questioning roles of his mature performances, there is

a potent sense of his concern for a central image in what he does, for some defining flash of

insight – physical, emotional – that will fix a role, even a single movement, for the watching eye.

A dancer photographing dancers - and the dance - has the extraordinary advantage of knowing

how the movement “feels”, of sensing it still in his body, of understanding its effects, its

intentions, its shape, both in visual terms and in those of the body and the muscular effort and

discipline that is making it. He senses the elan ACUTE ON E , the surge of energy, knows its

sensory shape as a dancer and shows this shape to an audience, understanding its purpose

and validity. Baryshnikov moving, Baryshnikov understanding that movement in another

performer as he captures its image with his camera, presents us with the idea of the camera

not merely as recording force but as player in that drama which is ever the relationship

between photographer and subject. There are secrets, reserves of feeling, dramas of

temperament, sheer damned tedium and exasperation, involved in making the camera record

dance. With Baryshnikov there is the fact of a most sophisticated eye behind the camera’s

lens, an eye that has seen and known decades of photographers in pursuit of his own physical

image, an eye that has accepted or rejected images of himself as true, revealing, honourable

in portraying a danced role, in recording something of himself as dancer, as theatrical artist,

as physical presence. Placed in exactly the reverse situation – as camera rather than subject

– Baryshnikov has brought that hard-earned awareness of the muscular, emotional, theatrical

Clement Crisp, September 2014

Page 8: Mikhail Baryshnikov - Dancing Away - ContiniArtUK

truth which a dancer hopes to give to his audience, to the making of his own photographic

records of dancers and dance-makers.

The choices he has made, the images he has sought – and found – have a double fascination

for us: as portrayals of dance created and selected by a dance artist of undeniable greatness

and achievement; and as contemplations, explorations, of dance that has held his imagination,

stimulated his wish to preserve them, engaged his undeniable gifts to explore their sense, their

mechanics, their emotional as well as their physical essence.

Photographs of dancers can tell you something about the performer – about a beautiful

physique, a ravishing face, even about the schooling that has prepared the artist for

performance – but about the dance itself…? Amid the historical torrent, the Niagara of dance

photographs, the image celebrates the performers’ physical appearance, even the vivid stretch

of limbs, but about the movement’s reality in time? Edgar Degas spoke of his paintings of

dancers (and he also photographed them in his last years) as a means of “rendering movement”.

As the camera became more sophisticated, so of course did its response to dance. Baron de

Meyer fixed Nijinsky’s theatrical presence for us so that we have some real sense of his artistry.

Strobe photography was later to produce images of dancing that caught, held, even contrived

to explain the mechanics and the exhilaration of a sequence of movement. The image of

the dancer was no longer of time stopped, limbs in frozen action in the ice of time, but of

something nearer a memory of a dancer in action, of Degas’ “rendering of movement”. (Harold

Egerton, fascinated by objects in micro-second existence, fixed something of the genius of

Alicia Markova in a strobe photograph which still tells truths about the artistry of this great

ballerina whom I adored.) Mikhail Baryshnikov, stimulated by the sense of motion (and

emotion) held in the photographs of such innovators as Alexey Brodovitch and Paul Himmel

with their blurred exposures and vastly evocative outlines, has seen how the life of the dance

can be found in the camera’s image. His dancing spoke superbly to us of dance movement.

And so, too, his photographs. We understand the body in action. And the action itself.

Born 1948 in Riga, Latvia, Mikhail Baryshnikov is considered one of the greatest dancers of our

time. After commencing a spectacular career with the Kirov Ballet in Leningrad, he came to the West

in 1974, settling in New York City as a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre (ABT). In 1979 he

joined New York City Ballet, where he worked with George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins.

A year later he was appointed artistic director of ABT where, for the next decade, he encouraged a new

generation of dancers and choreographers. From 1990-2002, Mr. Baryshnikov was director and dancer

of the White Oak Dance Project, a touring company he co-founded with choreographer Mark Morris.

In 2005, he launched the Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC) in New York City, a creative space for

presenting and nurturing multidisciplinary artists from around the globe. Under his leadership as

artistic director, BAC’s programs serve more than 700 artists and 22,000 audience members annually.

Among Mr. Baryshnikov’s many awards are the Kennedy Center Honors, the National Medal of Honor,

the Commonwealth Award, the Chubb Fellowship, the Jerome Robbins Award, and the 2012 Vilcek

Award. In 2010 he was given the rank of Officer of the French Legion of Honor.

Mr. Baryshnikov is an Academy Award-nominated actor, and a photographer whose work has been

exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide. His photographs have been featured in publications

such as Aperture and Vanity Fair, and published in several books, including Merce My Way (2008).
