Presented in
partnership with Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art. [nbsp] PUBLIC
PERFORMANCE Participants lie face down
on the street where they block traffic and proceed to pound the pavement with
the microphone one thousand times. The sound of each person’s actions is
amplified through an amplifier. Each person can choose their own rhythm and
intensity. The performance ends when all participants have completed their one
thousand hits. This performance is
presented in partnership with Plug In ICA. [nbsp] EVENING CONCERT Working primarily in
noise and drone, White Dog explores
the dark pools of psychological tension and terror that exist within the human
experience. From the earliest recorded tracks in 2004 to 2011's Escape
the Mystery II, White Dog continues to melt minds by taking mundane
or whimsical ideas and sounds, twisting them into unsettling, wacky and
sinister soundbombs. French artist Julie Rousse is a self-taught
sound artist, and collector of field recorded sounds. She is interested in
regaining an organic feeling in music by means of electronic devices and
improvisational acts, with a marked taste for abstract narration, turbulence of
details and the inextricable disorder of life. Mattin is a Basque artist working with noise and improvisation. His work seeks to
address the social and economic structures of experimental music production
through live performance, recordings and writing. Mattin considers improvisation not only as an
interaction between musicians and instruments, but also as a situation
involving all the elements that constitute a concert, including the audience
and the social and architectural space. He tries to expose the stereotypical
relation between active performer and passive audience, producing a sense of
strangeness and alienation that disturbs this relationship.
