Windows in the Kitchen is a film dance by Elaine Summers and a collaboration of four female New York artists: Originally part of an intermedia concert at the now-legendary The Kitchen, Matt Turney (1950-1973), icon of the Martha Graham Company, explores in a loft the possibilities of relaxed, casual to expansive movement. Along a large window front, which offers a view of the building opposite, a dialogue is created between Turney’s organic movements and the rectangular forms of New York’s architecture.
