Report : Kim Hoerbe on Pauline Oliveros and the Archive

Submitted by Rob Halpern on Sun, 03/07/2010 - 23:30

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.

Submitted by Michael Cross on Sat, 02/20/2010 - 12:42

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!

Our afternoon will begin at 1 pm at Nicole Hollis' studio (935 Natoma Street) for a short Nonsite Collective general meeting before Kim Hoerbe's talk on Pauline Oliveros. These meetings are always lively, and always, always, always open to an interested public!

After the meeting, at 2 pm, we are pleased to welcome visiting scholar, Kim Hoerbe, who will present his research on Pauline Oliveros and the Archive.

How often can you do so much on a Sunday afternoon-! With three opportunities for brain-tingling excitment, you have no excuse to stay home!

All best,
