ARCHIVE presents: “An Evening with Joseph Cornell”
From the “Art After Death” series
ARCHIVE is the collaborative production entity of artists Anne Walsh and Chris Kubick.
Their series, Art After Death takes the form of an audio cd series, performance lectures, and museum and gallery installations which present narrated and edited audio, recorded during “interviews” (séances) with dead artists, as offering an alternative form of “art history.” They suggest that (art) criticism might be a collaborative and performative practice, rather than an authoritative one. The act of using metaphysical communication prostheses-spirit mediums-to obtain information about artists’ intentions is one that brings the interpreter’s role powerfully into the foreground.
For An Evening with Joseph Cornell, ARCHIVE will present a lecture of their work.

TED REICHMAN
Emigre
Accordionist Ted Reichman steps out on his own in this moody, hypnotic portrait of one of the 20th Century’s greatest photographers, Andre Kertesz.
Ted Reichman – accordion; Okkyung Lee – cello; Roberto Rodriguez – percussion; Doug Wieselman – clarinet & guitar; Curtis Hasselbring – laptop & guitar
“The camera is my tool through which I try to give a reason to everything and to every happening around me. Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel this rhythm is the ‘raison d’etre.’ The photo is a fixed moment of such a ‘raison d’etre’ which lives on in itself.”
- Andre Kertesz

MARCO CAPPELLI & JIM PUGLIESE
premiere
IDR (Italian Doc Remix)
Mark Feldman – violin; Doug Wieselman – clarinets ; Marco Cappelli – guitar; Kato Hideki – bass; Jim Pugliese – drums
Italian Doc Remix is the result of the artistic exchange between Marco Cappelli (Napoli) and Jim Pugliese (NYC). The two musicians met back in Italy when Pugliese spent a week-long search for his Italian relatives in Castelnuovo di Conza, a village outside Napoli where Cappelli played among folk bands as a teenager. Together, their mutual reverence for the villages’ ritual music created Italian Doc Remix, an original project with improvised renditions of traditional Italian melodies.

BLACK MOUNTAIN TRIO
Combining elements of 18th century classical music, 1970′s fire music, and 20th century composition, the Black Mountain Trio is a new voice in creative music. While their influences are as varied as J.S. Bach and Albert Ayler, the group focuses on forging their own unique voice outside traditional musical genres, placing equal emphasis on composition and improvisation. The Black Mountain Trio recently made their performance debut at the Washington Square United Methodist Church under the not-for-profit sponsorship of the Greenwich Village Orchestra.
Jeremiah Cymerman (clarinet), Greg Heffernan (cello), Daniele Sahr (violin)
