angels gate dusk: installations + trios pulled from a hat

Video excerpt, trio 4: Joseph Hammer, Marina Rosenfeld, Mike Watt

From letters inviting artists to participate:

The jam has two trajectories – one (primarily) aural and one (primarily) visual…The premise is that artists are often thrown together within a space by an outsider, usually a curator, and forced to deal with each other. Through that tension often interesting things happen. I asm asking a group of musicians (some of

whom are also artists) to deal with each other in a similar way…to confront what resonances occur (or not) when they collaborate over the course of a few hours. In a way it’s taking what artists always have to do spatially and applying that to a medium that deals with space and time….

Occurring simultaneously with the music are installations in the area outside the performance space…

Cindy Bernard, Location Proposal #2:Shot 14, Angels Gate Park, San Pedro, August 1998

…So over the course of one evening the (primarily) aural and the (primarily) visual trajectories of the idea intermingle: the sound is audible from the installations outside the building and the art is visible from inside the performance space. – Cindy Bernard, June 1998
