During the month of May 2008 ISSUE Project Room devotes its programming to the ecstatic moment. Thursday May 1st (at 7pm) dan graham Dan Graham presents a screening of ROCK MY RELIGION "Rock My Religion" is a provocative thesis on the relation between Original Music: Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth. Sound: Ian Murray, Wharton Tiers. Narrators: Johanna Cypis, Dan Graham. Editors: Matt Danowski, Derek Graham, Ian Murray, Tony Oursler. Since the mid-1960s, Dan Graham has produced an important body of art and theory that engages in a highly analytical discourse on the historical, social and ideological functions of contemporary cultural systems. Architecture, popular music, video and television are among the focuses of his provocative investigations, which are articulated in essays, performances, installations, videotapes and architectural/sculptural designs. Graham began using film and video in the 1970s, creating installation and performance works that actively engage the viewer in a perceptual and psychological inquiry into public and private, audience and performer, objectivity and subjectivity. Restructuring space, time an spectatorship in a deconstruction of the phenomenology of viewing, his early installations often incorporate closed-circuit video systems within architectural spaces. The viewer's perception is manipulated and displaced through such devices as time delay, projections, surveillance and mirrors. In installations focusing on the social implications of television, as articulated in private and public viewing spaces, Graham refers to video's semiotic function in architecture in relation to both window and mirror. Graham has also published numerous critical and
theoretical essays that investigate the cultural ideology of such Graham was born in 1942. He has published numerous critical essays, and is the author of Video-Architecture-Television (1980). His work is represented in the collections of numerous major institutions in the United States and Europe, including Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and The Tate Gallery, London. He has had retrospective exhibitions at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Holland; Museum of Modern Art, Oxford, England; The Renaissance Society, University of Chicago; Kunsthalle, Berne, Switzerland; and the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth; and has been represented internationally in group exhibitions at Documenta 7, Kassel, Germany; Art Institute of Chicago; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; P.S. 1, New York; American Film Institute National Video Festival, Los Angeles; and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, among other festivals and institutions.

Duane Pitre is a Brooklyn-based composer, improviser and sound-artist. His primary instrument is electric guitar, which he plays in a nontraditional fashion, utilizing various objects such as mallets and rotary tools to coax unusual sounds from the instrument. His current solo works explore both chaos and discipline—and the territory that exists between the two. Pitre (originally from New Orleans) spent the better part of the 90s in San Diego, where he began exploring drone, minimalism, and ambient music. In September 2004 he moved to Brooklyn and began studying the physics of sound, the involvement of mathematics in tuning and temperament, the tuning system of Just Intonation, and other microtonal tuning systems. In summer of 2007 Pitre's album, Organized Pitches Occurring in Time, was released on Important Records. This album consists of two versions of his lengthy drone/contemporary-classical composition Ensemble Drones. Ensemble Drones was performed live in December 2007 by a 13-piece ensemble in Burlington, VT, and future performances of the piece are in the works for Chicago (May '08), New Orleans, Austin, and San Diego. Pitre has a number of releases scheduled for 2008, including a track on a compilation of experimental/avant-garde guitarists (to be released by Quiet Design) and limited edition lathe-cut vinyl on Ireland's 5 Minute Association label (Loren Connors, Michael Gira, Sunburned Hand of the Man). Pitre is currently curating and will be contributing a track to a Just Intonation compilation (to be released on Important Records in late 2008/Early 2009), which will include work by artists such as Pauline Oliveros, Ellen Fullman, Michael Harrison, and Arnold Dreyblatt. 8pm $10

Kane and his four guitar assault launched the blues into the stratosphere.

Many try it and many fail but Jonathan Kane and band deliver BIG time. The Dream Synidicate has got a new forger of harmonic maximalism” Qu Junktions - Bristol, UK “John Lee Hooker meets La Monte Young in the droning, bluesy incantations of Jonathan Kane, a mainstay in the downtown avant-garde scene, interested in the crossroads of new-music iconoclasm and experimental rock. He has a drummers sense of steady dynamic development and an unapologetic love of noise. Virtuosic” -New York Times Jonathan Kane is a Downtown NYC legend -- as co-founder of the no-wave behemoth Swans, and the rhythmic thunder behind the massed-guitar armies of Rhys Chatham and the rock excursions of La Monte Young -- and as one of the hardest-hitting drummers on the planet. On his critically acclaimed releases 'February', and 'I Looked At The Sun', Kane summons Swans' concussive wallop, Chatham's dense guitar strata, and the perpetual propulsion of 70s krautrockers Neu, then steers it all head-on into... the blues. Make no mistake about it: Kane is a bluesman, and beneath his music's hip shaking high-decible bombast, he's powering guitar-driven minimalism into the blues, and the blues into guitar-driven harmonic maximalism. Kane has also toured and recorded with a galaxy of modern music luminaries, making over 50 records with artists such as Elliott Sharp, Gary Lucas, John Zorn, Dave Soldier, The Kropotkins, Moe Tucker, Jean-Francois Pauvros, Jac Berrocal, Tony Hymas, Evan Parker, Septile, Transmission and Circus Mort. 8pm $10 Saturday May 10th michelle handelman+flaming fire Tonight Handelman will open the evening with some new three-channel works that re-animate, re-play and orchestrate excess with a glamorous loss of control.

Flaming Fire is the twisted creation of Patrick Hambrecht, mid-Western son of a Baptist preacher. He imagined the group as an eerily masked Greek chorus, inspired not only by his religious upbringing, but his avid passion for comic books and creepy things that go bump in the night. In order to realize his vision, he enlisted the help of his talented wife, Kate, and a rotating group of musical friends, from comicbook writer/ performer Lauren Weinstein to Dewanatron, Joe McGinty, and Dame Darcy. Flaming Fire's weird and catchy songs, lively stage show, and unique costumes have helped gain them a strong fanbase at home in New York, and a growing fanbase throughout the nation.They've shared the stage with such acts as Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, The Apes, Faun Fables, Peaches and Psychic TV. Flaming Fire recently released their new album, When The High Bell Rings, to rave reviews and they have gained much press (NY Times, Chicago Tribune, The New Yorker) for their Illustrated Bible Project, a live salon and website project wherein they invite professional artists and laypeople to illustrate a verse of the Bible in whatever manner the artist sees fit. A night with Flaming Fire is a raucous, whiskey swilling, crowd pleasing blend of the wacky and the profound. "Where did all the kooks go? L.A.? Well, at least some of them have
stuck it out in the city and they are in Flaming Fire, an awesomely
kooky, theatrical band singing songs of biblical plagues and Egyptian sexual practices.

Some more diligent This concert will be the first, and likely one of the only, live Speaking of Erstwhile, the duo of Lescalleet and Bhob Rainey, a Rainey won't get much rest, either, as he joins Greg Kelley to form nmperign, and they join Sean Meehan to form... a completely awesome trio. Combining these forces was such an obvious idea that it only took them eight years to actually make it happen. But happen it has (twice - this concert makes three), and it keeps happening because it's really great. With just one trumpet, one saxophone, and one snare drum, these men commute with molecules to make whatever space they're in a better place to be. They do it with silence, with elegance, with some deadpan goofing, and with the kind of focus that burns holes through granite. Is there a CD release in this group's future? That is currently unknown and somewhat irrelevant; their music is so well-suited to live performance, it would be silly to miss it. 8pm$10

He has performed with Alan Licht, John Fahey, Thurston Moore, Jim O'Rourke, Derek Bailey, and other artists. Thom Jurek (All Music Guide) writes,"Connors, like John Cage and Mark Rothko before him, sees and hears the value in not ordering sounds along a particular path even if that path has been drawn out in advance. Hence, where the 12 bars are supposed to be placed are sparse notes and large spaces where notes, harmony, and melody once existed. Touch, sense, and aural interrogation are the only bones left on the skeleton of Connor's blues...." 8pm $10 Wednesday May 28th through Saturday May 31
