ISSUE proudly presents our 4th Annual Floating Points Festival, now through July 31, 2009. The month-long series, co-curated by ISSUE's Founder and Artistic Director Suzanne Fiol with sound designer Stephan Moore (Merce Cunningham) features 22 emerging and established artists premiering new works on our 15-channel hemispherical sound system (pictured above). This unique system allows artists to utilize sound spatialization as a compositional element.

Each of the hemispheres radiates sound in all directions, activating the acoustics of this unique concert space. Immersive sonic environments are generated, electronic sounds take on the characteristic intimacy of acoustic instruments, and location is liberated as a musical dimension.

LEND YOUR SUPPORT!

Out of a pool of more than 100 of the city's top cultural organizations, ISSUE has been awarded a 20 year lease at the 5,000 sq ft. landmark theater at 110 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn by the Two Trees Management and the City of New York in which to build a permanent home for experimental work.

While this is an extraordinary opportunity, it is also an enormous challenge. We must raise well over half a million dollars towards our 1.3 MIL capital campaign to renovate the space and prepare it for a year-round program of music, film, video, and literature. Please join us on this amazing journey toward building a world-class center for experimental culture in the heart of the increasing growth and expanding cultural developments happening in downtown Brooklyn.
