Darmstadt 2012: Either/Or, Chris Mann, Object Collection
Either/Or performs the world premiere of Public Works by composer, poet and compositional linguist Chris Mann, commissioned by Turbulence.org in partnership with ISSUE Project Room, on a program with new work by Andrew Byrne and Thomas Meadowcroft. Object Collection presents New York Girls, an exercise in extremes, and a fanfare for the dispersed. False pretenses, controlled feedback, plagiarism, and precisely-placed things. A performance for objects, voices, instruments, and video, it is developed from Object Collection's March 2012 duo performances in Italy. Music composed by Travis Just, text and direction by Kara Feely.
