JULIANNA BARWICK / ROBERTO LANGE / JONATHAN DUECK TOUR
JULIANNA BARWICK / ROBERTO LANGE / JONATHAN DUECK TOUR
This April Roberto Lange, Julianna Barwick and visual artist and
long-time Asthmatic Kitty contributor Jonathan Dueck, will be engaging
in a unique collaboration that blurs the divisions between studio,
stage, touring and recording. Roberto will be performing under both of
his monikers, Epstein (exploration into the digital debris and soul of
experimental hip-hop influenced electronic music) with the help of
percussionist and Helado Negro (the official band of the Latin
Awareness Initiative). Julianna will be performing her ethereal and
magical vocal layering. Using the framework of a traditional music
venue tour, these three artists will create a new body of work that
will reflect their time together and those they encounter. This
ability to record anywhere and in any situation will serve as a
catalyst for exploration into happy accidents and unexpected
limitations and freedoms. It will also become an audio map of their
journeys, drawing upon the local cultures and sounds of these various
cities, places and spaces. The live performances will serve as a break
from the recording process and let the artists perform and explore
older material while allowing new ideas seep through. While the two
musicians collaborate and produce new music, Jonathan Dueck will be
documenting with drawings, video and photography which will later be
incorporated into the packaging materials for the final product of
this experience.
The live set will include projected video by Jonathan Dueck in between
music sets. These visually and musically rich videos are a culmination
of 4 years of work on 20 short films. Dueck scratched, painted on,
stamped over, and projected old 16mm films to create this work. With
the collaboration of I Heart Lung, Chad VanGaalen, Deneir, and Son
Lux, he has created 20 short, but visual rich videos from these 16mm
films.
The tour will also include two art exhibitions, the first in New York
at the 92YTribeca which will include stills from Jonathan's films plus
the playful work of Kristi Sword. This show will be up for the month
of April. The second will occur in Indianapolis at the Big Car / Mt.
Comfort Galleries and will include art by DM Stith, Ryan Irvin, John
Berry as well as Dueck. See full list of tour dates here.
