I wish I could go to hear John Keene and Christopher Stackhouse this weekend, but I have to be in another state. It's going to be an intriguing conversation.

Drafting a Common (Abstract) Language: Seismosis as Conversation

Go North is please to present “Drafting a Common (Abstract) Language: Seismosis as Conversation”. Co-authors of the book Seismosis (1913 Press, 2006), John Keene and Christopher Stackhouse will explore the process and practice of conversation across and through distinctive generic lines--visual art and literature--by discussing and reading poems from and selected texts related to this collaborative project. Issues they hope to touch upon include the question of formal and thematic abstraction in specific genres, its relation to questions of race, identification, and authorial agency and autonomy, and the problematics of interpretation. How can the artist and poet speak to each other, and are there languages other than the ones they enact through which to enter their conversation?

Gallery hours: Saturday - Sunday 12 - 6 PM; Friday by appointment

Lincoln Center Out of Doors presents:
Pauline Oliveros' The World Wide Tuning Meditation
Damrosch Park in the South Plaza, NYC
Free Admission

In cooperation with Deep Listening Institute in Kingston New York, Lincoln Center Out of Doors will host over 1000 voices to perform noted composer Pauline Oliveros' World Wide Tuning Meditation. The World Wide Tuning Meditation is an interactive "sound-a-long" in which the audience becomes an instrument. The audience voices at Lincoln Center will blend together with a broadcast of voices from 8 additional locations around the world to blend together to make beautiful music informed by Oliveros' score. The Tuning Meditation is a unique sonic event which Oliveros describes as "a gesture of sonic peace." Oliveros supplies the score, you supply your tone.

Voices from remote locations will be broadcast via free103point9's online radio transmission. With the technical support of free103point9's Executive Director Galen Joseph-Hunter and transmission artist Tom Roe, Oliveros will lead the voices of Lincoln Center with the voices of 8 additional locations to be broadcast into Damrosch Park. Remote locations include radio
stations such as Neighborhood Public Radio in San Francisco, Soundart Radio at Dartington College in the United Kingdom, Lemure TAZ in the Czech Republic, reboot.fm in Berlin Germany, Radio Corax in Halle Germany and other locations around the world to be announced.

Everyone is invited to participate in this unique event at Lincoln Center and no experience is necessary.
