Drawing Sound Part II: String Noise

For its 2015–16 season, The Drawing Center has developed two multi-evening events for its newly renovated galleries that demonstrate the institution’s increased focus on the intersections between drawing, sound, and performance-based art. Interspersed between major exhibitions, Drawing Sound will bring commissions of new work to The Drawing Center’s space and will build upon the institution’s recent explorations of drawing and music in the work of Iannis Xenakis and William Engelen. Billy Martin and String Noise (Conrad Harris and Pauline Kim) will curate the two Drawing Sound performances in July and September of 2015, respectively.

Produced by Brett Littman, Executive Director and Jessica Man, Curatorial Assistant.

Part II: String Noise

In the fall, String Noise will present a three-night event, featuring different performers each night. Alvin Lucier will perform Bird and Person Dyning. Jad Fair, primarily known as the co-founder of the lo-fi alternative rock group Half Japanese will also perform, in front of projections of his paper cut-outs, several of which have been featured on his album covers. Greg Saunier of Deerhoof, an American punk rock band, will also perform.

Night 2 – Saturday, September 12 at 7:30pm
Tickets available here.

Greg Saunier (drummer)
Curt Sydnor (composer and keyboardist)
Les Bonhommes, William Kuehn (drummer of Rainer Maria), Deron Pulley (bass and guitar), and Greg Saunier (vocals, guitar, and bass)

Throughout the three-day event, Echoic Memory Forms, a site-specific sound piece by artist and composer Spencer Topel, will be installed in the Drawing Room.
