THE EXHIBITION: sound . light . space
Sound, light, space - the essential qualities that form the basis of our surrounding environment and how we perceive it. The exhibited works in sound . light . space share a minimalist approach, employing simplicity to highlight the subtle and imperceptible. The audience is invited into the art works - moving within them, and directly experiencing shifting visual and aural impulses that ask for the surrounding space to be reappraised.
The works have a direct relationship to the unique gallery environment, and encourage us to examine the way we perceive our surroundings and how we relate to them. The exhibition extends this questioning of space out into our urban environment, through installation and photographic work.

MAIN GALLERY
JOHN FORSTER Lowdown
The artist creates a fluid architecture with lines of light that are strung out across the gallery space - based on the building's structural lines. The interpenetrating hyperbolic forms allow for a sense of spatial ambiguity when viewed or walked through.

DAVE CARTER & JOE WATSON Tetrahedron of Interferences
This interactive work, which uses electronic signal conversion, feedback circuits and a specially built concrete speaker system, produces static, yet ever-changing, patterns of sine waves that are tuned to standing waves of the gallery space. This sound alters dramatically as the listener moves around the space.

SOUTH WING GALLERY 1
SIMON & LARS Blown: Composition No.2
Freestanding discarded fluorescent tubes are placed in the gallery space. These tubes flicker on and off at various speeds and hues creating an electric field of light, revealing a music of hum, buzz and ping.

SOUTH WING GALLERY 2
ETIENNE CLEMENT Demolition in Progress
Photographs taken during the recent destruction of the brut concrete Holly Street housing estate in London, focusing on empty living cells whose outer wall was removed, revealing the difference within ostensibly identical spaces.

FOYER
DAVE CARTER Inside-Outing
A blue neon-tube installation is appropriated, using transformers and microphones, and made into an audio instrument, modified by audience interaction.

BAR
ULRIKE LEYENS We Shape The Things We Build, Thereafter They Shape Us
An ongoing photographic series that explores our complex relationship with the urban environment.

FANTASMAGRAMMA Digiterminal
Video work based on metronomic audio-visual impulses.

GARDEN
ALAN PEACOCK Just About Ambient
Audio installation using 2000 x slowed down samples taken from domestic machinery and devices, reproduced using manipulated generated wave forms and noise, to react with the environmental ambience of the gallery's exterior vicinity.

THE BOOK OF MUSIC AND NATURE

An Anthology of Sounds, Words, Thoughts
Edited by David Rothenberg and Marta Ulvaeus

This innovative book and CD, assembled by the editors of the renowned periodical Terra Nova, is the first anthology published on the subject of music and nature. Lush and evocative, yoking together the simplicities and complexities of the world of natural sound and the music inspired by it, this collection includes essays, illustrations, and plenty of sounds and music. The Book of Music and Nature celebrates our relationship with natural soundscapes while posing stimulating questions about that very relationship. The book ranges widely, with the interplay of the texts and sounds creating a conversation that readers from all walks of life will find provocative and accessible.

The anthology includes classic texts on music and nature by 20th century masters including John Cage, Hazrat Inrayat Khan, Pierre Schaeffer, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Toru Takemitsu. Innovative essays by Brian Eno, Pauline Oliveros, David Toop, Hildegard Westerkamp, and Evan Eisenberg also appear. Interspersed throughout are short fictional excerpts by authors Rafi Zabor, Steve Erickson, and Junichiro Tanazaki.

"The Book of Music and Nature cheerfully debunks the old 'music is the universal language' cliché, pays homage to masters like John Cage, Brian Eno, and Toru Takemitsu, and acknowledges the written word's ultimate limitations in the face of music with an illuminating CD. The Book of Music and Nature is an impressive work: important, provocative, and comprehensive." -John Schaefer, WNYC, New Sounds

The compact disc includes fifteen tracks of music made out of, or reflective of, natural sounds, ranging from Babenzele Pygmy music to Australian butcherbirds, and from Pauline Oliveros to Brian Eno. David Rothenberg is a composer and Associate Professor of Philosophy at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Marta Ulvaeus was Assistant Editor of TDR (The Drama Review) for three years before becoming the Associate Editor of Terra Nova Books.

Massless Medium: Explorations in Sensory Immersion

May 30 - July 29, 2001
Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage

For eighteen years Creative Time has used the vaulted stone chambers of the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage as a forum for the exploration of new artistic pursuits by artists working in many disciplines including music, fashion, film, design and video. On May 30th, we will proudly launch Massless Medium featuring seven ambitious, site-specific installations by a group of international artists who create media environments that shift our experience of space and time, blurring the boundaries between body and environment, solid and immaterial, immersion and isolation, disorientation and the sublime. Using both technology's basic building blocks and new hybrid configurations, the artists reference and expand upon the minimalist and ambient work of 1960's and 70's artists like John Cage, Dan Flavin, and James Turrell. The work in Massless Medium sensitizes and disarms, forcing us to re-examine our relationship with our environment in an increasingly technological world.
---
Andreas Angelidakis is an architect who has designed future homes based on NASA's Bioplex, transformed a storefront into an "office for future information" and designed many other spaces, virtual and land-bound. The artist uses technology to explore how structures can reflect or deflect both their environment and usage. Angelidakis' installation, My Anchorage, features a component by nanogod and gives a projected tour of a virtual "non-place", expanding the viewer's imagination and relationship to the Anchorage.

Masamichi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger, Antenna Design, introduce Firefly, a project consisting of skeletal, self-illuminated objects staggered throughout the Anchorage. By holding a wireless device (Palm OS) over each piece, the viewer (through infrared "beaming") will see effects associated with the particular object such as rippling water from a skeletal faucet. In addition, the duo provides a grassy slope intended for viewer relaxation and contemplation.

Erwin Redl heightens visual awareness with MATRIX IV, by creating an illusory, radiant space with his grid of thousands of red and blue LED lights. Over the last three years, in an attempt to liberate the temporal and visual effects of his computer-generated work from the confines of the monitor, Redl has used LEDs (a building block of digital imaging) as a sculptural medium.

Marco Brambilla's Arcadia consists of two, four meter-high monolithic metal towers containing plasma screens that take the viewer on a visceral ride of one of the world's largest roller coasters, Millennium Force. Combined with a soundtrack of mechanical sounds of the ascent and screams from the descent, viewers experience speed, time and movement without actually moving.

Anney Bonney and Liz Phillips, video and sound artists respectively, present Shaded Bandwidths, an interactive video and sound environment that explores the phenomenon of "ghosting" (the interference of radio transmissions by architectural and geological formations). In this dramatic installation of large screens, viewers trigger ghosting with their movements, subtly effecting the projected video and sound.

Sonic architect, Francisco López, presents Buildings [New York]; a sound installation composed of field recordings of white noise in New York City buildings. By recording and integrating sounds in our collective environment - e.g. from boiler rooms, light fixtures, and air filters - López transforms peripheral noise into an encompassing physiological experience.

Leo Villareal presents Firmament, a ceiling-mounted light sculpture composed of strobe lights arranged in concentric rings. The lights are sequenced into constellation-like, animated patterns. Viewers recline beneath the lights and ponder the artist's use of the synthetic matter to mimic the organic and transcendent.

Music in the Anchorage 2001

Thursdays June 7,14, 21, 28
Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage

Complementing and deepening the themes in Massless Medium, Music in the Anchorage 2001 focuses on composers who take minimalist and experimental influences and fuse them with the tools and technology available today. Whether re-molding cultural and industrial effluvia to build new forms, or constructing powerful layers of pure electronic timbres and frequencies, these artists create new sonic experiences that are simultaneously futuristic and historic, simple and monumental, phenomenological and mind-altering.

about the performers:

Francisco López -- Professional biologist based in Madrid, Spain, whose work with processed field recordings and synthesized sounds involves both tiny, barely perceptible occurences and vast sound fields of almost overpowering intensity. His work intends to lead the listener away from preconceived associations into novel auditory experiences. Francisco is one of the most respected sound-artists working today, and has released numerous recordings on labels such as Trente Oiseaux, Table of the Elements, Drone Records, Sonoris, Staalplaat, and .absolute.[seattle].

Mike Shannon -- Active musician since 1979, who has worked with groups such as Plateau, Lethal Gospel, < < < (pronounced 'ku ku ku'), Aquarium Music, Joyo, Kahunas, Earnerve, Blue World, Appliances, Dakinis, Aono Jikken, and the Animist Orchestra, in addition to producing solo material. He has also produced material and worked as a sound designer for a numbe of Seattle-based modern dance coreographers. His solo work has been released as a series of cassettes by Joy Street Studios (his own label), and he is featured on the CD's 'A Page of Madness' by Aono Jikken, 'Meander' by Blue World, and 'Coincidentiae Mirabiles' with Jeph Jerman, Dave Knott, Susie Kozawa, and Miroslaw Rajkowski. His work involves improvised interactions of east-asian instruments and electronic manipulation, that result in unique compositions of quiet, stately beauty.

Jon Tulchin -- Local musician whose work combines subtle textural interplay with precise dynamic changes. Jon has played two previous concerts in Seattle, improvising on self-built instruments amplified with contact microphones. The work he will present for this performance will be composed of field recordings and pre-recorded electroacoustic sounds.His work has been influenced by the compositions of Jeph Jerman (Hands To) and Richard Lerman, among others.
Hibiki / field for Electro-Acoustic music

"Hibiki" is the breakthrough of the thick wall of the "Japanese Electro-Acoustic music scene." We will invite Electro-Acoustic artists who are playing worldwide.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, Electro-Acoustic music has been evolving in the West. Electro-Acoustic artists compose and play with computers and live-electronics, and attempt to make new connections and approaches between music and art. There are many Japanese Electro-Acoustic artists who influence the scene, and are in the forefront of worldwide activities. These artists are limited to playing only in galleries, museums and clubs, because of the biased perception of Electro-Acoustic music in Japan. While the content and importance of the music in the Electro-Acoustic scene is equal to the modern classical music scene, they are not seen and heard in the same prestigious performance spaces. If we see the "real" Electro-Acoustic music as a pure music work, the present situation is inadequate. Therefore we conclude that a hall with the ideal sound system for "real" Electro-Acoustic music is required. This is the idea and the ideal of "Hibiki."

: RECITAL
The best quality of Electro-Acoustic music is produced by the best sound system.
The artists will be supported by the professor of sound effect/makers of sound systems/the engineer of hall/the planner.

zeitkratzer was founded 1997 at the Podewil/Berlin and gained great international attention since zeitkratzer is not only a new ensemble, but puts into practice a new ensemble model. The musicians - who are all renowned solo aritsts - as well as guest musicians and composers come from all over Europe to work with zeitkratzer. A fundamental musical openness signifies their music and working method: they cooperate with experimental musicians from the electronic scene as well as with composers of new music, Japanese noise musicians or improvisors. Amongst the ranks of the musicians are Lou Reed, MERZBOW, Elliott Sharp, Mario Bertoncini, Phill Niblock, Terre Thaemlitz, Carsten Nicolai and Keith Rowe.

Within the MondayMusic series in March 2001 zeitkratzer attend to new works next to Avantgarde classics. Stockhausen's "Mikrophonie I" or Spahlinger's "Ver(über)flüssigung der Funktion des Komponisten" proove to be astonishingly actual and very close to the young composers of electronic music. Different variants of Phillip Glass' early piece "musicin fifth" and Lou Reed's compositions from "metal talk/poetry", which have been premiered by zeitkratzer in the summer of 2000, connect the single MondayMusic performances. Besides that there will be one of the pure audio-studies by Spanish Biologist and radical composer of electronic music Francisco López (Madrid), who this time will not only blindfold the audience but also the musicians. The fruitful work wih Carsten Nicolai (alva-noto, Berlin) will be continued as well as the cooperation with Manuel Goettsching (Ashra Tempel), based on his Techno record of reference "E2-E4". Moreover, it can be signified as spectacular that the prominent electronic artist Vladislav Delay is working with an ensemble for the first time. With the invitation of Annette Krebs zeitkratzer stays in duty of outstanding up-and-coming musicians. John Duncan, Bernhard Guenter and the New York composer Michael Schuhmacher stand in for a new generation to whom electronic ways are as familiar as sound installations or instrumental music.
