On January 25, 2007 Avant Media presented the world premiere of Anger the pivotal immersion performance with music by Randy Gibson and video by Ana Baer-Carrillo. Additional artists included Alicia Wargo – sculptures and costumes; Oscar Henriquez – video typography; Mike Rugnetta – guitar, banjo and pre-show music; and Laine Rettmer – voice.
The performance, held at 20 Greene in SoHo, NYC, was completely sold out. Thank you to all of our audience members and supporters who came out for this one-night-only event. This is sure to be a piece that will continue its evolution and become on of Avant Media’s signature performances. Plans are already in the works for expanded video sections and further musical development.
Editing has begun in Los Angeles for the videos for Anger with the footage shot in New York. Ana Baer-Carrillo says that the footage looks great, and we should have a preliminary short edit available in January. Oscar Henriquez has signed on to create a series of typographic elements that will integrate into Ana’s video work. The process for the construction of these elements emerges directly from the structural concepts of the music.
