Fall 2017 Sponsored Artist Anthony Janas presents a performance piece that breaks down the notion that architecture must be a submissive member in a live musical performance. Performance spaces are constructed to enhance our traditional notions of acoustic and electronically amplified musical performances. If the space does not meet the benchmarks of a “good room” in acoustic terms, it is immediately deemed insufficient or undesirable. Playing The Room works with the concept that the artist performing in the room should interact, improvise, and work with the space as another instrument. Artists must examine and utilize a space’s unique architectonic properties to fully realize and enhance a performance which acknowledges the space that is presented within.
Forest Management (aka John Daniel) will be performing a tape-based piece to open the evening.
Reception 7:00PM followed by a performance at 7:30PM
