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].

Greetings Friends:

The holidays were quiet around these parts as we battled colds and entertained family, but we are back with a bang in the new year, preparing for a number of events in the next few months, including talks/performances/discussions with Alphonso Lingis, Kyle Schlesinger, Jonathan Skinner, amongst others.

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. 

We'd love to have all interested parties, especially if it's your first time!

Here are the details:
January Nonsite General Meeting  4:00 pm | Sunday, 1/31
at Rob Halpern and Lee Azus's home in the Mission (San Francisco) [email for directions].

We'll most certainly continue the conversation over dinner, so if you'd like to stay and join us for a meal, please bring a dish to share.

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

Hope to see you there!
