Report : Kim Hoerbe on Pauline Oliveros and the Archive

Kim Hoerbe’s talk on “Pauline Oliveros and the Archive” was the occasion for an excellent Nonsite event that took place on Sunday afternoon, 2/21/10, at the collective’s provisional South of Market digs, Nicole Hollis’s design studio.

Hoerbe is visiting from Berlin, and his research is located at the intersection of music and philosophy. He’s currently writing about Oliveros’s work with experimental electronic music in the 1960s, and his research has brought him to Mills College, which is the location of the Center for Contemporary Music (CCM). (Oliveros was the first director of the Mills Tape Music Center after the San Francisco Tape Music Center migrated to Mills with a Rockefeller Grant in the Summer of 1966, only to become the CCM several years later under the direction of Robert Ashley.)

Hoerbe had barely introduced his talk when the group began voicing a range of questions, all of which seemed to dovetail beautifully with Hoerbe’s own intentions, concerns, and ideas.

EE Miller | Facilitate This! | Sat., Feb. 27

Join us Saturday, February 27th at Get Lost Books (1825 Market St., SF) for an evening of collective imagining! Artist EE Miller brings "Facilitate This!" to San Francisco, a multimedia group investigation into the "meeting" as the landing site of our fears and fantasies about collective possibilities. Facilitate This! specifically considers representations of group behavior in queer imagination and history through film screenings, presentations, and conversation.

 

Festivities begin at 7:30 pm. Don't miss this crucial discussion!

NONSITE || February general meeting plus Kim Hoerbe, "Pauline Oliveros and the Archive"

02/21/2010 2:00 pm
02/21/2010 4:30 pm
America/Los Angeles

At February's general meeting (moved to the third Sunday to accommodate our busy spring event schedule), the Nonsite Collective will host a special presentation and discussion.

Kim Hoerbe, visiting from Berlin, will discuss recent archival research on Pauline Oliveros's electronic music from the 1960s, focusing on the tension between event and work. Hoerbe's project locates traces of Oliveros's material practices, leading to a discussion of the place of performance and the musical object in the archive.

Location TBA -- check this space in coming days for a venue.

[Those who would like to participate in Nonsite's usual monthly planning meeting are invited to arrive 1 hour early; we'll get through any new business in short order and leave the 2-4:30 meeting time open for Kim Hoerbe and the ensuing discussion].

We'll gather on Sunday, January 31st at 4:00 pm to touch base about these upcoming events and to deal with other Nonsite business including website renovations and our plans to curate a number of visual art events in 2010.

Nov./Dec. Nonsite General Meeting

Greetings!

We would like to invite all interested parties to join us for the Nonsite Collective's November/December general meeting on Sunday, December 13th at 4:00 pm. Given the general chaos around holiday plans, we've decided to hold a single meeting to round out this year's business. It's certainly been super productive around these parts, and we'd like to draw 2009 to a close by discussing the recently submitted Alternative Exposure grant, recent activities of interest (including events by Chris Nagler, Marcus Civin, and Morris Berman), and future plans for the new year. We had a nice full room of bright and beautiful people last month, and we'd like to see even more new faces; if you've yet to join us for the general meeting, please stop by and see what we're up to (and feel free to email me with any questions or concerns)!

Here are the details:
Nov/Dec Nonsite General Meeting  4:00 pm
| Sunday, 12/13
at Rob Halpern and Lee Azus's home in the Mission (San Francisco) [email for directions].

Additionally, please bring a dish or beverage to share, as we will certainly
continue the conversation in the form of a potluck meal.

If you have questions about directions or other business, or would simply like to chat, you can email myself or Rob Halpern at the following addresses:

rob [dot] halpern [AT] gmail [dot] com
michaelthomascross [AT] hotmail [dot] com

Hope to see you there!
