Sara Ching-Yu Sun: Nov 7th- Nov 30
with Ethan Crenson
Opening Saturday November 7th, 7pm-10pm
A Collaborative Project on Visuals and Sound
In this project with Ethan Crenson, Sun’s video footage is the result of an intensive period of shooting concerts at the Williamsburg Waterfront and editing silent movements of everything except the actual music-making. Crenson’s sound is completely independent from the video. It is constructed from exquisite field recordings collected from South Slope/Greenwood Heights/Sunset Park neighborhoods. With no overt synchronicity, the relationship between video and sound creates a multi-layered place of contradictions, fleeting connections and uncertainty.

PAST EVENTS
Simon Joyner: May 26th, 8pm
Simon Joyner was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but he’s lived in Omaha, Nebraska most of his life. The geography, mythology, and personal connection to both the South and the Midwest act as shadow characters throughout his large body of work–swallowing some characters, emboldening others, always reminding us that place is much more than mere scenery. Joyner’s songs and stories focus on struggling or haunted characters who confirm their humanity during moments of strength and weakness, disappointment, failure, and, of course, love. Here is the site to buy tickets in advance:

“Deconstruction” takes place a few years from now, after the U. S. has been defeated in World War III. In some major American city, Emma and Trudy are assigned to the same work detail to clean up the post-war rubble. Their very different pasts and personalities clash immediately.
The Play is written to be and will be performed during the opening reception of Rachel Youens show at Open Source called “Cornucopias”.
