Scot Jenerik and
Larnie Fox Friday, May 23, 8pm TARGODIE is an experimental sound project begun in 1995 by San Francisco sound artist Scot Jenerik and sculptor Larnie Fox. Their soundscapes range from atmospheric bliss to penetrating noise. Jenerik brings forceful percussion, invented instruments and technical expertise to the mix, while Fox provides melodic elements and sculptural sound sources. To date TARGODIE has one release on Mobilization Recordings, Against the Sky. Dicewalk Saturday, May 24, 1pm Join Larnie Fox at The LAB on the closing day of his exhibition for a special
chance event. Fox will lead participants on a dicewalk, a way of moving
through an urban or town environment in a random manner. The randomness
allows for movement through areas that one would ordinarily not venture
into, often facilitating surprising discoveries. For more information visit Mary Armentrout Fridays & Saturdays, June 6, 7, 13, 14 THE NEW WORLD is Mary Armentrout's newest multi-disciplinary dance theater piece. In a dream collage installation that collides dance, theater, video projections and an ambient sound score, six performers deconstruct everyday activities in ways that probe the usefulness of history, the limits of politics, the fluidity of gender roles, and the difficulty of love. Known for her genre-bending, gender role-breaking dance theater works, Armentrout presents the fruits of her recent forays into the collective unconscious, the battle of the sexes, and the troubled American political psyche of the moment. Known for her experiments on the edge of hybrid dance-theater fusion, Armentrout is a choreographer whose work lives at the intersection of dance, theater, and object art. Special guest artists Merlin Coleman and Maxine Moerman contribute genre-mixing work of their own.
