Upcoming Events

ISSUE is pleased to stream SHARDS:PROPRIOCEPTION, a new recording and accompanying visual project by multimedia artist, producer, performer, and engineer QUALIATIK. The piece aims to capture the contrast between an inner spaciousness and an outer claustrophobia.

A deeply personal two-part recording, 9 a.m. (Eternal) simultaneously embraces both the inner & outer interiorities of Toussaint-Baptiste’s early morning life in Crown Heights, NYC, with mundane practices finding new significance against the neighborhood’s dramatically shifting acoustic and physical landscapes.

ISSUE presents an evening of pioneering work from choreographer and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer and composer David Behrman, highlighting the artists’ work interpreted and presented by a new generation of artists.

ISSUE and Abrons Arts Center are pleased to present Seasons in a Quasar, a new collaborative performance by Brooklyn-based vocalist & producer Embaci and South African via NYC artist Dasychira. Seasons in a Quasar is a dynamic show with references ranging from classic children's stories to Trinidadian folklore.

ISSUE is pleased to stream a cassette recording from Lary 7, the first project in the Isolated Field Recording Series. Lary has given ISSUE a cassette tape containing a room recording of his “droney tone” piece, an unrepeatable sound and light “rewind” piece.

The Anagram Ensemble presents a program of original works and collaborations with composers Hunter Hunt-Hendrix and Viola Yip. This program highlights the diverse abilities of all five participants, who all contribute to this concert as both composers and performers.

ISSUE presents electronic music pioneer Laurie Spiegel’s piece A Harmonic Algorithm 2011 in collaboration with Seth Cluett. First created through a computer algorithm coded by Spiegel, the piece is spatialized by Cluett. The evening also features Italian composer Caterina Barbieri for the first time at ISSUE.

ISSUE is pleased to present an evening of recent electroacoustic works from visionary composer, trombonist, and scholar George Lewis. At ISSUE, Lewis presents a “portrait concert” of four recent works performed by musicians Laura Cocks, Seth Parker Woods, Dana Jessen, Conrad Harris & Pauline Kim.
