A Few Silence, A Place or Two, Some Applause

A program of experimental performance curated by G. Douglas Barrett.
Incubator Arts Project, New York, August 20, 2010, 10 PM.

Revolving loosely around the meeting of post-conceptual and discursive practices with those developed by the experimental music tradition, A Few Silence, A Place or Two, Some Applause is an evening-length program of performance works which considers the concert situation as technologically mediated site for embodied, social and institutionalized listening. The program contains works by G. Douglas Barrett, John Cage, Bill Dietz and Adam Overton. Performed by G. Douglas Barrett, Kara Feely, Francesco Gagliardi, David Kant, Aaron Meicht, Travis Just and Quentin Tolimieri.
