TheEvening of Experimental Music and Performance is set to accompany the Art and Culture Center of Hollywoods Fifth All-Media Juried Biennial exhibition. Scott Murray, owner and director of Twenty Twenty Projects in Miami, and Michelle Weinberg, artist as well as creative director of the Girls Club in Fort Lauderdale, have selected the most artistically appealing 66 works out of 825 entries. Only 40 artists made the cut out of 294. So among the paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, photography, video, computer-generated images, site-specific installations, and performance art, tonight, experimental noise will explode. It is a daring and thrilling move.
What is experimental music? How is it avant-garde? Well, Vergez describes his set as a live, improvised experiment in the concrete sounds of nonmusical objects and repetitive structures, with some tape accompaniment for mood. We love mood setters. And there could be some guitar, he says. Besides Vergez, there will be ambient and acousmatic music from fsik huvnx, zany avant-pop from Pocket of Lollipops, and deconstructed live drums, electronics, and sampling by Susan Telemetry. The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood (1650 Harrison St., Hollywood) will be filled with the sound of noise from 6 to 9 p.m. It costs $10 if youre not a member or age 3 or under.
