Three new Baltimore arts projects for 2012
Mobtown Modern has been busy pushing boundaries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], musically speaking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in Baltimore for several years, offering concerts devoted to current and vintage stars of the avant garde. In 2012, things will get pushed a little more.
"After five years in existence, Mobtown Modern is getting back to the spirit of experimentation we had in the beginning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said co-founder Brian Sacawa. "The ethos of Mobtown is reaching out to a different audience, a more diverse audience."
That audience will include students. In a partnership with Maryland Institute College of Art, Mobtown will be working with the Interaction Design and Art department, specifically the newly launched Sound Art Studio,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which offers studies in composition, improvisation, computer music, sound installation and more.
"In the Mobtown Modern Sound Lab, students can create experimental music, sound installations and work on new forms of graphic notation," said Erik Spangler,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a MICA adjunct faculty member, composer and electronic musician who co-founded Mobtown Modern. "They will also work one-on-one with Mobtown musicians."
Students will also interact with Mobtown performances. In February,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for example, Mobtown will present a rare performance of Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano by path-breaking legend John Cage (a prepared piano is a traditional keyboard instrument altered by the placement of various objects on or between the strings).
"Students will record the dress rehearsal and/or the performance," Spangler said, "then create re-mixes as a way of providing their own reactions to the music, their own reinterpretations."
The exploration of sound art will continue in late April with a "telematic concert" devoted to a new sci-fi-theme work by Spangler,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a seasoned turntablist. "ZeroTime,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," which has what the composer describes as "a theatrical, sci-fi framework, with a futuristic scenario,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," involves sampling of sounds from vinyl records.
A half-dozen or so Mobtown musicians will perform the piece in the atrium of MICA's Brown Center,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while, via Internet audio stream, a similar-sized ensemble will perform simultaneously 4,400 miles away in Rome.
The aim of these and other Mobtown Modern projects with MICA is to engage the students directly in "another aspect of contemporary art," Sacawa said. "It's 'sound art,' which is music. The possibilities of how we could interface with the students are endless."
"What a collective can do is bring people together,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], introduce photographers and other image-makers to each other and the public," said Marian Glebes, who contributed intriguing video art to "Fields of Vision,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," the collective's inaugural exhibit at the Case[werks] Gallery. "It's about showing that there is a home for this art, not only in terms of walls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but in terms of discourse."
Judging by the pieces that spice "Fields of Vision,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," which includes multiple generations of photographic artists in the area and beyond, that discourse could get quite lively as In (parentheses) continues to develop in 2012.
"We saw that there was no place in Baltimore dedicated to photography and videography," said Joseph Giordano,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Baltimore Sun contributor known for his contemporary take on portraiture. "Photography is really hard to show in galleries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and chances of getting a solo show forget about it. One of our main missions is to bring national and international artists in this medium to Baltimore."
The collective plans to find a permanent space as soon as feasible, possibly in the increasingly popular Station North area. But the photographers are not rushing to become owners or renters of a gallery.
"The goal now is to animate other places,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said photographer Jill Fannon, whose works reflect a flair for the surreal. "Photography is a very social medium."
Public lectures and discussions will be a regular part of the group's activities in an effort to spur wider appreciation of the art form and its diverse applications.
In addition to their own pieces, collective members selected works by photographers who inspired them for the "Fields of Vision" exhibit, which runs through Jan. 27.
"Baltimore has left an imprint on all of them, and they've left an imprint on Baltimore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said collective member Sean Scheidt.
The show features a wide variety of subject matters and techniques, from photojournalism and stop-motion animation to cyanotype an essentially camera-less method of producing images. Scheidt's contribution is a striking example of alternative processing. His laser transfer portrait of a nude could be mistaken, even close-up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for a Renaissance painting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cracks in the canvas and all.
"Our job is to challenge people's view of the medium," Scheidt said. "I'm interested in redefining photography, bending things and pushing boundaries."
