Hello everyone, as old man winter winds down his fury, I’ve got some exciting projects coming up in March. First up is the score and soundtrack I did for the short film, Paloma and Raúl in San Serriffe directed by J Makary and performed by Janus Trio. The premier of the film will be Friday March 12 with a screening of the film and live electronic Mikronesia set remixing the sounds of Janus Trio. This event and projects will be part of Philagrafika. More info below:
The Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks is excited to present the most recent artist commission in its acclaimed program, Landmarks Exhibitions: Contemporary Projects. Paloma and Raúl in San Serriffe is a new site-specific film installation by artist/choreographer J. Makary, created with collaborating composer Michael McDermott (Mikronesia) and Brooklyn-based contemporary trio janus. Curated by Robert Wuilfe, the exhibition will be presented from March 12 to April 4, 2010, at the historic Powel House Museum, the home of eighteenth-century Philadelphia mayor Samuel Powel.
A free public opening reception on March 12 from 5pm-9pm will feature a live performance by Mikronesia at 6pm. Paloma and Raúl in San Serriffe is an Independent Project of Philagrafika 2010, Philadelphia’s international festival celebrating print in contemporary art.
