ISSUE Project Room
22 Boerum Place, Brooklyn

Saturday, March 31st, ISSUE presents Parisian-born artist Félicia Atkinson presenting a brand new performance involving an imaginary dialogue between the poems of Francis Ponge (1899-1988) and texts of her own, in French and in English, accompanied by electronics, voice and piano. The evening also features Afrikan Sciences & Sassacyprigo presenting a performance of nuanced soundscapes, mindful movements, and rhythms that conjure different temporalities.

Atkinson’s distinct practice incorporates diffuse poetic atmospheres and pointillistically rendered sounds that constantly suspend and re-introduce themselves. Often moving to emphasize the relationship between music and sculpture -- sound and its spatialization -- Atkinson’s work concentrates upon the implicit narrative of a “poetics of things” happening in sound. Here, like in the poems of Ponge, a profound “readymade” empathy toward objects, technology, and music emerges. Atkinson is also co-director for the label Shelter Press alongside Bartolomé Sanson, which has released works from Ben Vida, Gábor Lázár, Tomoko Sauvage, D/P/I, Stephen O’Malley, and others.

"La nuit parfois ravive une plante singulière dont la lueur décompose les chambres meublées en massifs d'ombres." The night sometimes revives a singular plant whose glow breaks down the room furnished in masses of shadows" -- Francis Ponge, The Candle (La Bougie) in Le Parti Pris des Choses / The Nature of Things, 1942

Emerging from a long lineage of musical structures born from the difficult social and political conditions of race relations, Afrikan Sciences uses electronic instruments as a medium for open-ended explorations of form and composition across the musical linguistic heritage of African-American music, while Sassacyprigo’s free-form dance stylings channel intuitive action and a continuous “soul survivalist” strength to live free.

“As a human being, I find that I’m at constant battle between the imposed power structure’s ways of looking at freedom and actually living free,” Sassacyprigo states. “It is within my search for personal voice and belonging that I create.”

This program is curated by writer and media theorist DeForrest Brown Jr. Concerned with speculative futures in performative contexts, Brown is part of the cataloguing space Elevator to Mezzanine and was ISSUE's 2017 Suzanne Fiol Curatorial Fellow.

inexact 10 – Laura Not

À l’occasion de son exposition au Studio, Estelle Hanania invite le musicien et compositeur américain Stephen O’Malley à réaliser un programme radiophonique conçu spécialement pour la MEP, à partir des bandes son qu’il a conçues pour les pièces chorégraphiques de Giselle Vienne. 

Estelle Hanania et Stephen O’Malley poursuivent ainsi une collaboration de plusieurs années, qui a notamment donné lieu à la sortie du vinyle Eternelle Idole en 2015 et du vinyle The Pyre en 2019 aux éditions Shelter Press.  

Stephen O’Malley est un guitariste, producteur, compositeur et artiste visuel né en 1974 dans le New Hampshire (Etats-Unis). Il a participé depuis 20 ans à la fondation de nombreux groupes incontournables de drone doom, metal, musique expérimentale – SUNN O))), KTL, and Khanate comptent parmi les plus emblématiques. Particulièrement prolifique, l’oeuvre de  Stephen  O’Malley se caractérise par son ampleur, sa complexité, son approche expérimentale et minimaliste, son interdisciplinarité. 
Il collabore avec des artistes de tous horizons tels que le musicien et compositeur Scott Walker, la chorégraphe et metteuse en scène Gisèle Vienne, les auteurs Dennis Cooper et Alan Moore, le compositeur Alvin Lucier, le sculpteur Fujiko Nakaya, le cinéaste Jim Jarmusch, et avec les instituts de musique électronique IRCAM, INA-GRM (Paris), EMS (Stockholm). 

Artiste de scène incontesté, il ne cesse d’effectuer des tournées depuis 2003. Ses concerts en live sont une brume de réverbération née du minimalisme d’une guitare électrique, une sorcellerie sonore qui défie les frontières de l’espace et du temps.

Andrea Belfi Mix N°49

Luīze details an enveloping, introspective, and emotive soundscape that documents field recording trips to Florence, alongside birdsong imitations, and the undulating harmonic complexities of sacred chorus and ancient folklore. 

At points, this mix feels totally beyond music, while at the same time retaining all the intricacies of feeling that only music can articulate. Deep trïp nrg. 

''...in that new life we shall rest, we shall rest to the songs of the angels in a firmament arrayed in jewels and we'll look down and we'll see evil, all the evil in the world and all our sufferings bathed in a perfect mercy and our lives grown sweet as a caress.''
