Past Programs

Organized by Branden W. Joseph and David Grubbs, this three-day festival examines the intersections and encounters of art, music, and cinema in downtown Manhattan from 1978-1983. In addition to panel discussions, the event will include a rare screening of James Nares’ "Rome '78" and a performance by Ut.

ISSUE Project Room presents the second annual Darmstadt Institute, a festival of interdisciplinary programming including concerts, lectures, workshops, film screenings, and talkbacks which celebrates and critically examines the continuum of the experimental tradition in music and related media.

ISSUE Project Room is pleased to announce our Artists in Residence for 2010: MV Carbon, Richard Garet and Matt Mottel.

MATA Interval is a bi-monthly series developed and produced by young participants in MATA’s Curatorial Associate program, which features emerging composers and performers using software instruments, using video as a parallel practice, and rethinking the notion of chamber ensemble in the digital age.

Responding to a declining network of support for innovative experimental literature outside academic institutions, Littoral serves as a central hub for fostering cutting-edge writers, publishers, and literary journals.
