ISSUE is pleased to screen Brooklyn-born film pioneer Ken Jacobs’ 3D film A Primer in Sky Socialism, presented alongside the premiere of a film score by Aki Onda + performed live in collaboration with musician & writer Alan Licht. Baltimore-based pedal steel guitarist Susan Alcorn performs solo before the film.
The Wall Street Journal's Andy Beta interviews Ken Jabos and Aki Onda in anticipation of "Nervous Magic Lantern", a duo performance that receives its US premiere on December 12, 2012 as part of ISSUE's Artist-In-Residence program.
"Nervous Magic Lantern" unravels an unexpected film before our eyes, without actors, without a plot, without celluloid or video. Ken and Flo Jacobs present live projections in a hallucinatory three-dimensional watching experience, with sound by Artist-in-Residence Aki Onda.
