Perpetrators’ Daily Bread

Friday, September, 9th, 2011. 9-11pm

In the spirit of Dick Higgins Happenings, Devotion presents PERPETRATORS’ DAILY BREAD, an evening of live drawing, music improvisation, performance art, and a film screening. The evening will implicate the audience in the space by featuring live painters BOSSHIKO and Sayoko Hirano, music by Floor Models, a duo of processed electric guitar and electric cello, and Ideosynchronic an experimental percussion duo, as well as a performance of Bibi Calderaro’s The Institute for Wishful Thinking, and a screening of the new film Holy Blood by Brian Getnick and Noe Kidder. All of these things will happen at the same time, among the viewers rather than separated from them. We will break down the walls between art forms, allowing a multi-dimensional work to emerge over the course of the evening. To paraphrase Richard Serra ,the experience will be in the audience, not in the frame, nor on the screen, nor on the stage. A document of the show will be available to view for the week following the performance.
