Six Exquisites International Sound Art Festival II
The Six Exquisites International Sound Arts Festival II will bring to
the Tacoma Art Museum an exquisite collection of world renown sound
artists for a four day celebration of new and experimental work
beginning with a workshop-presentation followed by three evenings of
individual presentations. The schedule will be supplemented by community
potlucks and gatherings and, at its conclusion, will travel to 6X
festival events in Spokane and Seattle, Washington.
The featured artists are: Manos Tsangaris of Cologne; Pamela Z of San
Francisco; Martien Groeneveld of Amsterdam; Pi-hsien Chen of Cologne;
Brenda Hutchinson of San Francisco; Dorothy Martirano of Urbana,
Illinois; and, Dan Senn, of Tacoma, Washington.
The festival's mission is to bring international sound artists to
communities which otherwise would not have the opportunity; to place
these artists within contexts uniquely accessible to the public; to
showcase the magnificent Pacific Northwest to the artists; and, to
create a close knit context from which the artists will easily
collaborate in spontaneous group performances while instigating future
relationships.
