About Diapason http://www.diapasongallery.org
Diapason gallery for sound and intermedia was founded by composer Michael J. Schumacher and choreographer Liz Gerring in 2001 and its program builds on the efforts of Schumacher’s previous sound space, Studio Five Beekman, founded in 1996. Diapason is the sole venue in New York City and one of few internationally dedicated to the presentation of multichannel sound installation where composers and sound artists can realize their work for an interested public. By providing an optimum listening environment, two high quality multi-channel sound systems, a regular audience, and a place for experimentation, Diapason seeks to engage composers and the public in dialogue about the place of contemporary music and sound practice in a broader cultural context. Diapason is supported by NYSCA, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the Phaedrus Foundation, the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts, The Trust for Mutual Understanding, Kirk Radke, and by generous individuals. Diapason is a 501(c)3 organization.

“Nadj expresses himself through the body, but he is an intensely theatrical artist with a very distinctive artistic imagination”(Vincent Baudriller, Festival d’Avignon, The New York Times)
‘

An overwhelming success at last summer’s Festival d’Avignon, Paso Doble is a live performance by dancer, Josef Nadj, and Catalan painter, Miquel Barcel??. Using the impact of their bodies, the dancer and painter create a series of ephemeral paintings on a red clay canvas, filled with moments that are sometimes serious, sometimes burlesque. Underscored with a live soundscape by Alain Mah??, the two bodies gradually disappear, as if absorbed into the clay, leaving the canvas free for a different work each evening.

Experiential Modifiers by Kurt Bigenho

Guest Blogger: Sara Dufour, PERFORMA

Part of the Conflux Festival, Experiential Modifiers is a performative installation where participants can check out and use a wide variety of common objects. The objects have all been colored a bright, garish uniform pink, and the installation is staffed by a crew of uniformed workers. In essence, the project functions as a lending library of experiences.

AUDIO V??RIT?? PRESENTS: AKI ONDA

AUDIO V??RIT?? PRESENTS: AKI ONDA
CINEMAGE 2007, 65 minutes, slide projections and guitar improvisation.
With live performances by Loren Connors and Alan Licht
Saturday & Sunday, September 1 & 2 at 8pm
Anthology Film Archives 32 2nd Ave (at 2nd St.) www.anthologyfilmarchives.org

Each night will include the New York premiere of two new Cinemage pieces!
A THOUSAND LIGHTS AND NIGHTS
A HIDDEN PLACE FOR BIRDS

CINEMAGE is Aki Onda’s audio-visual project, performances of which are composed of slide projections of still photographs and guitar improvisation. “Cinemage” means “images for cinema,” or “homage for cinema.” The visual images in CINEMAGE are snapshots taken from Onda’s daily life. By documenting fragments of his personal life, something is revealed in their accumulation ‘ the particulars within lose significance. What emerges is the architecture, and the essence, of memory.

JAVIER T??LLEZ: This is Tomorrow

GUEST BLOGGER: Katherine Joiner, PERFORMA

As part of the Creative Time/inSite Public Art Conference: The Situational Drive: Complexities of Public Sphere Engagement, Javier T??llez participated in a panel titled Anti-Spectacle/Spectacle where he discussed his upcoming project. As part of Creative Time’s Six Actions for New York, T??llez plans to loose a brigade of miniature robots at the New York Stock Exchange at the end of this month. The robots will be carrying placards written by various homeless residents of NYC. As part of his practice, T??llez often begins his projects by working with patients at mental hospitals, in part to question the societal and linguistic ideas of normal versus pathological. In the upcoming project, titled This is Tomorrow, T??llez draws on the writings of homeless people to raise similar questions of social mores and to communicate to those present at the Stock Exchange the ideas of people with whom they would not normally interact.

Conceptual aspects aside This is Tomorrow sounds as if it will present an amusing spectacle worth participating in. Although the official details are yet to be announced, it is tentatively scheduled for May 30th. For those interested, check in at the Creative Time website:
