'AN OTHER WORLD' will be manipulated during a live performance that combines shadows, song, movement and sound. 'An Other World' is an immersive, interactive installation by Providence-based artist Erik Ruin. Inspired by medieval visions of the afterlife, science-fiction landscapes and more modern/personal struggles with scarcity and depression, this show combines intricate paper-cut scrolls, hanging banners and overhead projections. These visions will be "activated" by the viewer's own shadow and live performances at the opening and closing events. Erik Ruin is a Providence-based printmaker, shadow-puppeteer, founding member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, and co-creator of the recent book Paths Toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism (w/ Cindy Milstein, PM Press, 2012).
The HUMMINBIRD (CHI) - Moon Bros/Humminbird duo! + MOTHERTONGUE (PVD) + MOUNI (PVD)
+ JENN KELLY (Berlin & CA) psych-folk-singer-songwriter. "On the day you left, you left me hanging, hanging upside-down.......... Jesus complex, let's get pizza... I will share my cheese, just please don't please be so mean..." - Lyrical genius? We think so. CHICAGO - The Humminbird - Muyassar Kurdi will be touring with Matthew Schneider (of Moon Bros) on pedal-steel. Armed with an effected auto-harp, Muyassar and her cohorts create lush and droning soundscapes that feature her sometimes atonal, but always soulful, yelping, singing, and howling. Her songs are fluid, ruminous compositions that dwell on the nature of family, lovers, the natural, and the spiritual world. Classic psychedelic instrument arrangements are infused with Muyassar’s contemporary Freak City-Folk experience to keep psychedelia relevant for a new generation.
