New artwork for 9-11 calendars or articles

Web users the world over will be able to participate in Memoria/Memoire, a live memorial event on Sept. 11, streamed from the Herberger College’s Institute for Studies in the Arts (ISA) at Arizona State University, in conjunction with University of Arizona.

The Sept. 11 event is open to anyone with Internet access and the site will remain up following the anniversary of the terrorist attacks. The event will run from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Arizona time, and include performances streamed live from several universities across the country, including ASU and UA. Other participants include the State University of New York at Buffalo and University of Kansas.

Among the performances will be 10-minute versions of two performance pieces created and presented during the past year by ASU artists. Heel by Jeff McMahon and Infinite Justice by Lance Gharavi were both developed in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
