Greater New York

If you'd told me a few years back that my name would appear in the same program as Chantal Akerman, Robert Ashley, Shirley Clarke, Henry Flynt, Terry Fox, Gordon Matta-Clark, Yvonne Rainer, Jack Smith et.al's I wouldn't have believed you; yet I'm taking part in MoMA PS1's "Greater New York" show in the form of an afternoon-length concert wherein curator Mark Beasley has organized a series of groupings of a bunch of musicians that I both hold in extremely high regard, and largely consider to be good friends; David Grubbs, Eli Keszler, C. Spencer Yeh, Okkyung Lee, and Nate Wooley.

Solos, then Company Week -esque ad hoc pairings, trios, and a six-way closing blast will ensue in PS1's dome starting at 1pm. More info on the ongoing GNY projects here:
