Opening/Performances: June 6, 7 - 10 pm

This show spotlights sound as an art-form. Examining the divergent modes of operation that artists interested in this medium may take. The viewer is asked to consider the physical/special and temporal qualities of sound. We are invited to observe, interact with and feel the space that sound occupies as well as examine our own notions of hearing, perception and experience. Featuring works by Amanda Barrett, Mark Cannariato, Michael Dooling, Jeph Jerman, Michael Slagle, Gocha Tsinadze.

Performances by:
Ilusha Tsinadze (guitar, samples, effects) with Jeremy Viner (clarinet, saxophone), Gocha Tsinadze (in collaboration with Michael Dooling, live dual channel sound performance with film)
Gang Clan Mafia (Vela Phelan - turntables, samplers, knobs, transmissions - and Dirk Adams - found sound, constructed sound, mic, effects)

This exhibition examines sound as art through Installation, Sculpture, Video, Painting, and Performance. This exhibit will be kicked off with special multi-media and sound based performances by artists from NY, NJ, Massachusetts and California.

scratch that

Actually I desire the authority. Just not yours.

derivative

I feel distant from my work and do not care for the authoritative voice the sterility of these closed boxes and low ceilings affords.
I wish to dive into the cool cleverness of casual conversation. I aspire to take it all back; let it not be perfect again.
I want to know words again.

starting a new blog

starting a new blog with the spirit of spring (almost summer) and the hopes of sweeping out the stale. (not a noun but should be.) wish me luck.
