three pieces last night
Three Pieces last night was just wonderful, as it always works out to be. Anne Yalon showed works dealing with memory and particularly her experiences of living in New Orleans but being away when Katrina hit. Elise Baldwin presented a gorgeously nostalgic but completely unsentimental sound piece, using a monster of a Max/MSP patch. Lauren Schime talked about and showed her work dealing with psychosexual tensions between people and the way that those tensions become present in intimate physical settings.
All in all, the crowd was a little less than usual, largely due to Deric and I waiting a bit too long to do PR, but as always, totally stimulating and fun. The discussion periods last night were particularly engaged. Fascinating stuff. We're already hard at work on the next one.
