SOUND IN SPACE EXPLORATIONS
an indiscriminate month of sound performances
Wednesday, February 6 – Saturday, March 1, 2008
All
events are Free
Sound in Space will traverse diversity by
presenting cross sections of the local sound art community. From sound
installation to Fluxus note card pieces and field recordings to live
ambient music, the topography of the musical fringe is as varied as the
community is geographically dispersed.
This is a program for the community by artists in the community. Every
performance is free with an aim to urge active collaboration and exchange
between artists and audiences.
While the sea and space are the dark unknowns, they don't have to be
unknowable. Sound in Space are vehicles with
which the community is invited to navigate and explore art that has been
termed "experimental," or "conceptual;" loose terms
that create a barrier rather than extend a hand.
The Sea and Space Explorations Gallery hosts performances
and installations every weekend (Thursday through Sunday) during the month of February.
