Monday 15
Continuation of the on the spot/improvised solo violin’s
uptight zipping about with the flurry fingers and the zig zag chase; out for
the tension - the soft touch’s lament - bird song buzzing, amplified hums
hurling about - caught in the hustle, and taking care of business; implemented
with phaser and delays, etc... Wandering into the wavelengths of heady frenzy,
ensconced in the sliding of the touch ’n go - to and fro, Light into dark
- dark into light, with Barry Weisblat on visual projections

Richard
Garet (New York) Friday 19
His approach to working with sound focuses on
interacting with the materials' sonic properties as both source and instrument;
such materials are amplified EMF emissions, modified audiocassettes,
dysfunctional tape players, circuit boards, sonification of
light, and computer processing among other explorations and with no
particular hierarchy; over the years his work has evolved from laptop
playing to a more active hands on type of approach by embracing tactile
malleability, and establishing durational concrete methods and less
digital playback

Tony Martin (New York) Thursday 25
The film and video work of Tony Martin - Throughout the
1960's the artist created pure light and combined image projection, and
recording technique; these pioneering intermedia compositions were first seen
at the San Francisco Tape Music Center and then internationally;
the Howard Wise Gallery in NYC exhibited viewer-activated light sculptures and
installations; these used custom mirrors, and various sensors built into the
pieces; during subsequent decades these personal systems are fed into film and
video pieces, along with electronic and stylus/pad manipulations

Rauschenberg, John Cage, Joan Mitchell, Vija Celmins, Judy Chicago, Jacques

Cage, Pierre Boulez, Alvin Curran, Michael Nyman, Carles Santos, Liz Phillips,
and Meredith Monk), other portraits shown are on dancers (contemporary and
