Opening Party for Double-Bill
Featuring Monuments, a new film by Redmond Entwistle
(Original music by CJM)
Runs from Jan 22–Mar 20

“Double-Bill” is a group exhibition curated by New Commissions artist Redmond Entwistle that includes his new film Monuments along with works by Mary Billyou, Suzanne Goldenberg, Rafael Sanchez, and Kathleen White. Using seating salvaged from various defunct cinema spaces, a temporary cinema will be assembled in the gallery featuring twice-daily screenings of Monuments as well as two series of films. The first series is about the early New York film avant-garde and the second is a selection of recent film and video work by artists including Marianna Ellenberg, Erik Moskowitz and Amanda Trager, Raha Raissna and Stom Sogo.

Starting with Monuments, a retelling of the story of Post-Minimalism and its relationship to New York and New Jersey in the vein of comic horror, “Double-Bill” brings together a series of works that share B-cinema’s ethics and dilemmas of autonomous production and its achievement of magical and critical effects through minimal means. These works are interspersed with and interrupt the makeshift cinema. A projection booth will be at the entrance to the gallery and on the wall of the booth are a series of text paintings by Mary Billyou. Behind the cinema screen and lit by studio lights is Rafael Sanchez and Kathleen White’s ongoing assemblage and street performance Book Sale. Intermingled with, and obstructing the collection of, cinema seating are Suzanne Goldenberg’s paper, wood and cloth sculptures.

GALLERY HOURS: WEDNESDAY - SATURDAY; 11am - 6pm, and by appointment.

"The central work in the exhibition is Surfaces Of Constant Time, a new eight-minute video in which an amorphous shape fluidly breaks down into smaller units of color, melding together in constant motion, regrouping, evolving, and transforming into unexpected configurations. Paired with a soundtrack by Chris McIntyre, this video takes Alvarez’s whole concept into a shape-shifting and ever-evolving engagement."

Chris McIntyre presents
To TILT: Original Music for TILT Brass

Composer, trombonist, and producer Chris McIntyre presents New York-based TILT Brass' two projects, TILT SIXtet and TILT Creative Brass Band, with a full evening of extraordinary new Downtown brass music. This event kicks off TILT's on-going concert series To TILT: Original Music for TILT Brass. To TILT focuses solely on repertoire written for TILT's distinctive ensembles, with works that often embrace the playerly, composed/improvised hybrid aesthetic developed in New York's Downtown scene over the past 40 years. The Roulette program features 3 world premieres, 2 for SIXtet by the legendary Anthony Coleman and pianist/composer Pete Drungle, and the third by McIntyre for the 10-piece Creative Brass Band. Also featured are pieces by TILT Brass members (Curtis Hasselbring, Nate Wooley) and its esteemed colleagues John King and Nick Didkovsky. The personnel for this special event is filled with some of the best all-around instrumentalist/artists New York City has to offer, including Kevin Norton, Joe Fiedler, Russ Johnson, John Clark, Gareth Flowers, Jacob Garchik, and both Hasselbring and Wooley.

tammen.org/ens_teo.html

Hans Tammen uses Earle Brown's open form composition idea as a starting point to create a large multi-movement piece, thoroughly composed and purely improvised at the same time, inspired by West African roots of Jazz, Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Steve Coleman, and Stravinsky's layering or Steve Reich's phase techniques. Drawing from a single repertoire of around 100 pre-conceived musical units, the conductor uses the orchestra as an instrument, while each performer shapes the music through virtuosic improvisation and the individual stylization of musical performance. "Everything about Third Eye Orchestra... indicates mastery and control" (Howard Mandel / CD Liner Notes)

CJM Sounds

Part of IPR's Chamber Music Month

ISSUE Project Room
At the Old American Can Factory
232 3rd Street, 3rd Floor
Brooklyn, NY 11215
directions

CJM Sounds features a set of compositions created by composer/performer Chris McIntyre. morphi studies is an on-going project that situates the trombone's sound and idioms within various types of electronically produced contexts. It is a collection of short works created as both a solo vehicle for the composer and as a way to explore the capabilities of MAX/MSP and conventional "tape piece" techniques. quartet music for trumpet, horn, bass trombone, and Nord Lead 2 was first inspired by a commission from the organization Composer's Concordance and the brass trio B3+. Part 1, since revised, was premiered in March 2008. Tonight's performance is the premiere of the complete three-movement work. Its aesthetic lies somewhere between historical Vareseian "organized sound" and 21st century stylistic inclusivity. quartet music strives to be playerly ensemble music while proffering a distinctive vision of 21st century chamber music.

Program:
morphi studies for solo trombone and sound
McIntyre - trombone & laptop

quartet music: parts 1,2 and 3 for brass trio and Nord synth
Josh Frank - trumpet, Mike Atkinson - French horn, Dave Nelson - bass trombone, McIntyre - Nord Lead 2
