"Feeling as Capacity / Feeling as Relation": This program features musical contemporary art with musical instruments, text, musicians, found objects, spectators, audio, chairs, projection, lights, and more. The program asks how sensation and emotion are tools of political power and struggle, in the concert hall and beyond. The featured pieces mark the politics baked into the concert hall's often unmarked protocols of listening, "decorum," and funding, while also proposing a musical practice that emphasizes relationality over historically white compartmentalizations between artistic disciplines, politics/aesthetics, colony/metropole, and past/present. The program presents realizations of new scores by Colin Tucker, alongside new realizations of scores by Yoko Ono and Ben Patterson, as a way to position the new scores in a long yet neglected history of decolonial musical contemporary art. Attendees will have the option of participating or not participating in listening, movement, and speaking activities oriented around the reframing of routine concert music protocols.
Aaron Michael Butler, Peter Tracy, and Carlos Cotallo-Solares also present a brand new work by Eva-Maria Houben, as well as a rarely performed classic by Tom Johnson.
