Queer Trash is thrilled to present Madsen Minax, Max Hamel, and Reagan Holiday for an evening of gender blur, noise, abstraction, and intimate electricity. Returning to ISSUE following their 2018 Curatorial Fellowship, Queer Trash presents a varied night of drag, noise, and video.

Multimedia artist and experimental hodgepodge-ist Ying Liu opens her 2019 residency with the premiere of PLAYDATE, an outdoor play and hyper-cellphone oriented performance combining theater and happenings, exploring themes of urban interconnectivity.

ISSUE presents composers & instrumentalists Daniel Fishkin, Cleek Schrey, and Ron Shalom -- the U.S.'s only extant daxophone consort. At ISSUE, the group collaborates with experimental vocalist and composer Judith Berkson. The concert features the premiere of a new commission, HARD WOOD, by Alvin Lucier.

ISSUE presents artist and electronics visionary Mark Fell, returning to ISSUE for the first time since 2015 to premiere an untitled new piece with cellist, composer, and improviser Okkyung Lee. The evening also features Kara-Lis Coverdale and LXV, collaborators on joint album Sirens, each presenting new solo work.

The program is paired with an improvised trio performance featuring id m theft able (voice, objects) and Andrea Pensado (voice, electronics).

French composer Christine Groult's work is performed in the U.S. for the first time.

Experimental sacred music duo ARIADNE also presents new work.

Rena Anakwe opens her 2019 residency with “The Cosmology of Water,” an immersive ritual that contemplates the pluralities that water holds as a molecular component of life, as a sacred space, and, at times, a site of destruction. Anakwe submerses attendees into a world of sound, scent, movement, lighting+projections.
