NEWS
Oh my. I haven't updated this since December. Ask me about any of the following:
massive snowstorms; broken pipes; early morning telephone calls; bicycle accident; Tylenol-3; "Politics and Other Words"
Now it's Spring and I have some news.
SHARJAH INFOCART/CITYMAP
Lize Mogel and I have a project in the Sharjah Biennial 10. The Sharjah InfoCart was a public intervention, asking people to think about the City and provide data for our map--the Sharjah CityMap.
The map is in six languages--Malayalam, Urdu, Tagalog, Bengali, Arabic
and English. Typesetting was much more challenging than we ever could
have anticipated! (But now my computer has four keyboards! I'm sure
I'll figure out poetic applications of this.)
We worked with a wonderful team of students from the American
University Sharjah on the design of the Cart. There's an article about
the Cart here. I'll post more about the map after the Biennial opens, or check the InfoCart blog.
AUDIENCE
OMG. Save the Date.
April 5th. At last, Lauren and I will get to hear an ((audience))
program in a real movie theater. And not just any movie theater. Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center. I won't believe it till it actually happens but I still want you to save the date. Or, better yet, buy a ticket. This program, simply called "Cinema for the Ear", is a special program for Unsound Festival New York.
We've been so busy with this that we have yet to make final selections
for ((audience11)) but rest assured we have some great works!
Stay tuned to the ((audience)) blog for more news. (Or sign up for our announcement list below.)
ALSO! We received a grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council to
continue our salon series. Sound Off 2011 will take place on the last
Thursday of each month, beginning on 3/31, at 16Beaver Street in New
York. Doors open 7ish and performances start promptly at 8pm.
Performers this season include Monique Buzzarte, Luke DuBois and more. Guest speakers include Alexander Keefe. And we're having a special Providence-takes-Manhattan with students and faculty of the MEME program at Brown.
I'm supposed to hit the road in July for some talks and to play the
((audience11)) dvd in the hopes of confirming some screenings. For
better or worse, I've got a talk in Columbus, Ohio and in California.
If you would like me to speak (and you could cover travel) anywhere in
the great wide country between Ohio and California, please let me know.
(And, everyone in Texas, you know I've been dying to visit your land
ever since Nika Khanjani's chili-cookoff in 2009! So please invite me!)
QUARTET
I'm making a new quartet. It's called "Everything Obama
Said About Guantanamo." I'm applying for a fellowship. I'll let you
know if I get it.If I do, we'll present it in June, in New York. I still need more voices. Let me know if you'd like to read.
KIELBASY
Kielbasy is over. I told you it was an 18-month project and I meant it.
That's it. Happy Spring. I'm off to the desert where I'll wear white jeans.
