Isolated Field Recording Series: Kim Brandt

Wednesday, May 20th at 8pm EST, ISSUE is pleased to present a recording with accompanying video and text from choreographer and 2015 ISSUE Artist-In-Residence Kim Brandt. The work is part of the Isolated Field Recording Series, commissioning artists to produce field recordings to be streamed over the course of this challenging and isolated time.

Note from Kim Brandt on the recording:

“I’ve been caught in between spaces the last two months—in between apartments and landscapes, between stillness and noise, between quick moves and the drag of waiting. I’ve been carried around, I’ve carried myself around, I’ve traveled hundreds of miles in the city and in the country, a wandering winding daily ramble, the repetition itself proving to be the destination. The routines, patterns, systems and methods that make art and make a life provide an environment to move through where seemingly ordinary occurrences become, for whatever reason, special. Inside the long days that are all one day is some sort of catalogue of the ways I move and am moved.”
