Some things of interest for Monday, March 3.
1.
Who: CHRIS PECK - From Field Recordings to Recorder Choirs
When: 3-5pm Monday March 3
Where: Krannert Art Museum (in the Collections Research Lab - basement)
Brooklyn-based composer Chris Peck, known for his collaborations with
choreographers John Jasperse, David Dorfman, and RoseAnne Spradlin and
video artist Charles Atlas, discusses his practice as an improviser with the
computer and his compositions for large ensembles of untrained performers.
Come prepared to engage in undisciplined singing and unfamiliar ways of
listening. This overlaps our regular class meeting time, obviously, but I would encourage people to attend ONLY if you can be there starting at 3. You must also write a short blog post about the event.
If you do attend, come to class immediately afterwards, I will be meeting with people regarding progress on the spatial interfaces.
2.
Also on Monday March 3. The next "For Educational Use Only" screening will be performance, video and architectural artist Vito Acconci's "The Red Tapes". Acconci is a seminal figure in performance and video art, who has more recently been working within an architectural and public art practice. This is at 7pm in room 229 as usual.
