Merce Cunningham: 65 Years is a dynamic multimedia app celebrating the unique legacy of the late choreographer, dancer, and artist. This innovative, primary resource offers a vibrant and experiential account of Merce Cunningham’s life and work, while reflecting Cunningham’s own interest in engaging with technology—a principal motivation for creating the interactive app. Marking Aperture Foundation’s first major venture into the world of digital publishing. Aperture, in collaboration with the Cunningham Dance Foundation, have created an engaging project with over 40 excerpts from Cunninghams dances (most including sound), interviews with David Vaughan, and passages from the riveting series, "Mondays with Merce" as well as additional images from the last fifteen years of Cunninghams life, and from the Legacy Tour which ended December 31, 2011. Merce Cunningham: 65 Years is more of Merce Cunningham and his extraordinary work, than simply about him.
This additional multimedia joins forces with set and costume designs, musical scores, choreographic notes, selected drawings and journal entries by Cunningham, over 200 photographs, all the essays he is known to have written, and more!
