MATA presents its 27th annual MATA Festival, this year in partnership with ISSUE Project Room at the limited capacity 22 Boerum Pl. theater. Featuring four concerts across four nights, this year’s festival explores the concept of INTERGALACTIC INFINITY: Music Between Spaces.
ISSUE is pleased to stream Hard Exit, a new piece from multimedia producer Voice Training, working at the imagined intersection of trans poetics, game theory and digital synthesis
ISSUE is pleased to stream THE BIG SHARE, a new piece from artist, improviser, and composer C. Spencer Yeh. “Perhaps the best way I’ve been able to describe THE BIG SHARE is as a series of rough draft chapters from an unfinished novel that probably will never, nor should really, get finished."
ISSUE returns to the Flamboyán Theater at The Clemente in the Lower East Side to present American composer and musician Kali Malone, Puce Mary (Frederikke Hoffmeier) performing solo work, as well as Tongue Depressor, the New Haven-based duo project of multi-instrumentalists Zach Rowden and Henry Birdsey.
ISSUE is pleased to stream Tracking My Packages, a new collection of home studio productions, recordings, slideshows, scenes, and video from composer and trombonist Peter Zummo. "Decisionmaking, doing the logical thing, and going back to make changes, improvements. Try not to have a bad attitude about anything.
ISSUE is pleased to stream Cher Sylvère, a new piece from musician, writer, and philosopher Rachelle Rahmé. "I refuse ‘art as necessary labor’ – what I aimed to make was a collection that defended the unessential; the ‘creative no’ of isolation that moves across zones and mediums."
Thursday, June 11th at 8pm EST, ISSUE is pleased to stream Things Mother Used To Make, a new piece from interdisciplinary artist and 2015 ISSUE Artist-In-Residence Dawn Kasper. Kasper across genres of performance, installation, sculpture, drawing, photography, video and sound.
June 10th at 8pm EST, ISSUE is pleased to stream April, a new piece from interdisciplinary artist duo LoVid, part of the Isolated Field Recordings Series. In their words, "Blast this noise and flicker set for ruptured times!”
2020 Suzanne Fiol Curatorial Fellow Leyya Tawil presents her second program in the NOMADIC SIGNALS series in partnership with Poetry Project, featuring the NYC debut of a new trio formed by poet Marwa Helal and musicians Saint Abdullah.
