Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder with Olivia Block
Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder present an original piece of “live cinema” using film projectors and simple mechanical means to create slowly shifting abstract light sculptures, with soundtrack by noted composer and sound artist Olivia Block. Gibson and Recoder show their work around the world, including recent performances at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and Performa New York. Block is a contemporary composer and sound artist who combines field recording, scored segments for acoustic instruments, and electronically generated sound. Her release Mobius Fuse was voted one of the best albums of the decade by Pitchfork.
The performance will be followed by a discussion with the artists.
