GASP! It's Sonic Arts!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cyber-musician, Berklee faculty member, and Boston Cyberarts Festival favorite Neil Leonard is organizing another evening of the latest in cyber-music at GASP, a space devoted to promoting collaboration between disciplines and fields in the contemporary cultural landscape. Sonic Arts @ GASP features beat de-constructions, circuit bending noise and realtime video by Berklee Music Synthesis students and alumni. Performers include London laptop maestro Gadi Sassoon, Somerville's own guitar player and electronic artist Katie Amaral, and New Hampshire-based sound artist Eric Miller.
It all happens this Friday, June 6, at 8:00 p.m. at the GASP Gallery, 362-4 Boylston St., Brookline, just one block from the Brookline Hills stop on the Riverside branch of the Green Line. Suggested donation is $10, or $6 with a valid student ID. Email galleryinfo@g-a-s-p.net or call 617.418.4308 for more information.
From the Electric Studio
at AXIOM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AXIOMFrom the Electric Studio, curated by Dana Moser and Fred Wolflink, is the Third Annual Massachusetts College of Art and Design collaboration with AXIOM. By turns humorous and startling, it's a smorgasbord of interactive artwork including video, photography, kinetic, light and sound sculpture, created by artists working in MassArt's Studio for Interrelated Media. Featured artists include: Clint Baclawski, Kevin Clancy, Kristin Kyper, Celia Rose Marks, Shawn Moore, Mary Murray, Jack Pattishall, Alexandro Quintana, David Thacker, Joey Tipton, Andrea Zampitella and Max Del Viscio.
From the Electric Studio is generously supported by the Centre Street Café in Jamaica Plain (the favorite lunch spot of Boston Cyberarts Director George Fifield and generations of staffers); Machine Science in Cambridge; Hefeweizen UFO; and our forward-thinking and generous friends at LEF Foundation.
The exhibition runs through June 21 and can be seen Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:00-9:00 p.m., Saturdays from 2:00-5:00 p.m., and by appointment. AXIOM is located next to the Green Street T station on the Orange line, at the corner of Amory and Green Streets in Jamaica Plain. For more information, visit www.axiomart.org or call 617.953.6413..
Phillip is Back!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PhillipA different Green Street - the one in Cambridge - is the site of Episode 14, the next chapter in a continuing series of experimental multi-media installation and performance projects known as The Phillip Project. Spearheaded by Boston-based Michael Jahoda and Finnish video artist Pasi Granqvist, Phillip and the Phillip Project were created in Amsterdam in 2001. For Episode 14, Jahoda teams up with Dutch percussionist Robbert van Hulzen to create a new 40-minute unplugged, acoustic episode with text, movement and live music. Phillip, the questioning and endearing leitmotif, once again takes center stage - reliving his past, twisting the present, and laying the ground for an idyllic future.
There will be two performances - at 8:30 and 9:45 - on Thursday, June 12. A Boston DJ will spin sounds before and between performances, so audience members are invited to come early and stay late. Green Street Studios are at 185 Green Street, Cambridge, near the Central Square stop on the Red Line. For information about the Phillip Project visit www.phillipproject.com. Tickets to the performance are $15; contact Green Street Studios at 617.864.3191 for more information.
