From Silent Barn

Getting on a plane in a hour to take these speaker gadgets to Los Angeles for an installation project called Bright White Underground by the artists that made the Black Acid Co-Op show at Deitch Projects. 

While I'm out, Popjew's curating a show on Thursday, there's a psycho-jazz quartet playing on Friday, and then we're honored to host Omega Jarden Saturday.

Sunday's off, but then there's a theater production straight from Baltimore on Monday.

FRIDAY // 9.3 > Tribraco, Neo, Marc Edwards & Weasel Walter Group, PAK Duet (info)
SATURDAY // 9.4 > Omega Jarden, Follower, Mirror Mirror, Prayer Town, The Magick Report (info)

[ it's been awhile ]

This is about to become more personal, feel free to unsubscribe. All my shows are on the Silent Barn facebook, and all the shows by everyone else is in Showpaper. This will still be about shows I’ve put together, but will include a wider swath of stuff I’m involved in, as it begins to splinter significantly….

Here’s what’s new:

  • Above is a calendar made of all the cassettes Party Lab.
  • My two roommates have moved into a Clocktower.
  • This is the same placed I helped on an installation with James Franco.
  • Silent Barn got a write-up in the New York Times
  • Showpaper has new artwork and distro boxes up on facebook
  • Silent Barn has too much nonsense up on facebook.

    • And that randomly and incompletely brings us up to date.

    I just spent the night (and by that I mean 3 hours) sleeping in the dressing room of an empty Liz Claiborne store. If you're wondering why, check out this weekend's festivities: it's OVERSTIMULATED week!

    [ THURS 4/22 - THURS 4/29 ]


    Overstimulated is a student-curated takeover of a commercial retail space in lower Manhattan's South Street Seaport, only a few blocks from the student's university: PACE. A bridge project pulling from the student's own work to those of their mentors and professors, and extending the collaborators that the student's have been experimenting with outside of the university, this large scale group show of peers, faculty, and friends represents and celebrates the transition from campus life into the hustling New York art-world. 

    Almost 50 participating artists with work ranging from fabric installations, interactive sculptures, live painting, photography, film, collage, drawings, and digital illustrations create an immersive environment to explore and lose yourself in throughout the week's packed schedule of events filled with live music, theater, poetry, and film screenings.

    JUDI CHICAGO is the sound of the sticky skylines and chickenbone sidewalks of Atlanta. Since 2006 the trio of multi-instrumentalists James Joyce, Travis Thatcher and British-born ATL transplant Ben Coleman have concocted their surrealist blend of acid house, technicolor glamrock 8-bit bleeps, art-punk, free-association poetics & the beats and breaks of ragga, jungle and classic rave.

    "G. Lucas Crane (VanishingVoice, Time Life, Woods) has utilized his Nonhorse project in crafting a new language for tape music and drone over the past many years, melding the two varied approaches with an accomplished zeal that has yet to fall into mannerisms of complacency. The cross-faded epics of found sounds and other unidentified musical paraphernalia acts as the fluid pulpit for Crane's ambiguous vocal tricks and electronic management.

    [ MONDAY / APRIL 26TH ]

    - How many veggies can be stewed before the stew overrunneth?
    - How much can a mound of dirt be watered before it slurries into a mud slide?
    - How many looped tape loop loops can be looped in a loop of looped loops before the universe effaces itself entirely?
    - How much structure is needed to prevent collapse?

    Cogitate these questions and more at this interactive panel discussion with the residents and co-curators of the Silent Barn.

    Join the panelists as they unpack buzzwords like “DIY,” “community-based,” and “performance space” in a presentation of storytelling, crowd surfing, and mixed metaphors. All set to the live stylings of a walking cello line.

    You supply the key ingredients: bring as many veggies, cassette tapes, and sacks of dirt and mud as you can manage!

    [ FRIDAY / MARCH 5TH ]

    [ SATURDAY / MARCH 6TH ]

    My awesome new roommate, Kunal, is doing two back-to-back events this weekend surrounding our new indie-arcade junk pile of flashing fun called Babycastles.
    Website not recommended for those with epilepsy
    On Friday we're saying goodbye to a bunch of classics, and switching in a whole new host of awesome new games. There'll be samosas and ladoos to devour, and bunch of performances, and gerenal gaming party-time.
    On Saturday the cooking will continue with some delicious curry (thanks to resident arcade designer Syed), and a workshop will be run teaching you how to hack simple controllers to run off anything (i.e. dentures, a doorknob, a spoon, etc). 
    More reasonably-composed info available on [facebook].
