by artists working with Harvestworks:
Opening Presentation: Saturday October 23rd 3pm — 5pm
Julia Heyward will discuss "Miracles in Reverse" and her new work "Points
of View". Julia is a multimedia artist who began her career as a solo
performance artist touring America and Europe throughout the 1970s with work
that incorporated
video, film, monologues and a cappella singing. Her video works have been featured
at various festivals, including the Tokyo International Video Biennial, the
Mill Valley Film Festival and the Film-X Film Festival, Los Angeles.
Charles Cohen will perform in a surround sound concert with a virtual Gino
Robair.
Charles has been composing and performing in collaborative, cross disciplinary
projects with theater, dance, music, and media artists, and is singularly
interested in live performance and improvisation. Gino Robair is an experimental
percussionist
who has recorded with artists as diverse as Tom Waits, Lou Harrison, Anthony
Braxton, Derek Bailey, and Terry Riley.
Artist Presentation Saturday October
30th 3 — 5pm
Jeff Carey will perform with "Vector" a 5.1 spatialized environment
using FFT Analysis of field recordings made in the natural and urban
environments in Singapore and Malaysia. Jeff Carey writes, "As
in culture shock, things
initially seem exotic, but over time they become more understandable
as one begins to normalize the new information." The piece attempts
to reconcile
the
effect of discovering ëforeign' sounds by incorporating them into
synthesis and compositional procedures to deconstruct and extend them into
new sounds.
Cory Arcangel will discuss new work and collaborations including "Pizza
Party", TACcompression, Super Slow Tetris, and Hall and Oates. Cory
is a computer artist who lives and works in Brooklyn. He is a founding member
of BEIGE
[aka the Beige programming crew / Beige Records], a loose knit crew of like
minded computer programmers, and enthusiasts.
Artist Presentation Saturday November 6th 3—5pm
Keiko Uenishi "Che
Shire" – Sound Movement Composition Tool, pre-beta
v.0.3
(work-in-progress)is a composition/demonstration/performance for
multi-speakers." Based in Brooklyn, New York, sound artist, composer,
[electroluxe] event schemer, core member of SHARE (http://share.dj), o.blaat
(keiko uenishi)
is known for creating various interactive audio environments such as 'beat
piece (with Ping-Pong game),' 'audio coat check,' 'coupier,' 'fillip.' All
of which
resulted from her ceaseless pursuits of ways to erase performer's presence
and ultimately alter listening situation altogether.
Abigail Child will show THE FUTURE IS BEHIND YOU a film that
creates a fictional story composed from a found family archive
from 1930s Europe. Abigail
is a film and video maker whose original montage pushes the envelope of
sound-image relations with sensitivity, smarts, passion and ephemeral
beauty. She makes,
in the words of LA Weekly "brilliant exciting work—a vibrant
political filmmaking that's attentive to form."
In addition to the presentations on Saturdays, the gallery will

on Thursday evenings to present continuous audio and video works by the
