Friday Afternoon Links I-xxx-2009 : The Third Mind
I attended the opening of this show last night, and it is truly spectacular, and there is a strong musical presence as well, from La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela’s Dream House to scores from the FLUXUS era, to a huge presence of works surrounding John Cage. The inimitable Margaret Leng Tan has done the audio tour and I’m very excited to go back and listen.
There are also a ton of performances and lectures set for the 3 months or so it is open.
There is so much amazing art on view during this exhibit that we were literally running at the end of the night to see a full room installation on the top floor that is not to be missed.

The week in looking ahead.
First off, wow to yesterday’s miraculous plane landing on the Hudson, and to the incredible Chesley Sullenberger.
Looking ahead to the Obama administration in only 4 days!
Mondays
I never got around to making links this Friday – although I saw some fantastic work this weekend: Welcome to Nowhere on Saturday and Siren on Sunday (which was truly spectacular).
Starting today is an interesting video project, Mondays With Merce, that should prove to be interesting as it progresses. I was particularly struck by the music used during teaching, very straightforward and, therefore, surprising (at least to my ears)
every monday from now until, i guess, it stops.

The week in things made out of food which shouldn’t be made out of food at all.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays – and Happy New Year. It’s a beautiful snowy day in Brooklyn. I expect I won’t be posting much over the next couple of weeks.

Hot Karl
I never got around to posting links last week – we were performing Doleo Æternus at the ISIM conference and it was completely insane.
There is a Flickr gallery of images we took during our trip to Denver here and more coverage will be coming as we get images from the ISIM and finalize a recording for your listening pleasure.
In the meantime – here are this weeks sporadic and miscellaneous links:
Heading Home
I’m sitting in the Denver airport on my way home from performing Doleo Æternus on Friday evening. It was a really interesting experience. Mike Rugnetta and Amali Premawardhana were fantastic. They played beautifully and I can’t wait to hear the recordings. Even though the performance is over, I still haven’t seen Ana’s video. I know we ended together and I’ve heard there were some fantastic moments of synchronicity.
I’ll be posting clips and sound samples soon.
I want to say a big Thank You to Mike and Amali, to Ana, to the Playground Ensemble, and to Kate and Conrad and everyone at DU and the ISIM. It was a great experience and I’m sure I’ll look back on this as the catalyst in the next phase of this piece.
How Anger became Doleo Æternus
I began working on Anger around the same time that Ana and I started this company. Even though it took us a long time to finally be ready to perform it ( a solid three years after the first notes were written) in many ways it was the first piece that Ana and I worked on after Alicia.
On Friday we will be presenting the next step in the evolution of this piece: Doleo Æternus (more…)
Friday Afternoon Links XI-xxviii-2008
I am sitting in the Dream House in lower manhattan. A perfect activity for the day after what turned out to be an epic Thanksgiving dinner I cooked last night (11 courses, but more on that later…).
In one week we will be performing the latest version of Anger now called Doleo Æternus written by moi and with a new video shot by Ana Baer-Carrillo and edited by Caren McCaleb at the ISIM Conference in Denver, Colorado. This is extremely exciting for me, but also nerve-racking.
Here is the only link for today.
