CHRIS BROWN / GANGAN ENSEMBLE JANUARY 8-9




OPEN STUDIO SESSIONS

CHRIS BROWN / GANGAN ENSEMBLE

JANUARY 8-9, 8-10PM


Because ours is a time obsessed with transparency as it is always more interesting to see behind the thought process of any creative endeavor. Even more so now that art is increasingly becoming another fashionable trend. Hang around exhibition openings and for sure you will catch conversations among collectors and enthusiasts mulling over the hottest ‘fashion finds.’ Well, it’s a wait-and-see now with the global financial crisis looming over our shoulders. Still what has market dictates have to do with obscurantist experimental sound practice? Precisely the point, as it neither appeals to any commercial or accessible taste, it looks back at our consumptive compulsions driven by a world manipulated by desires.

The OPEN STUDIO SESSIONS invites the public to re-think their position in the process of artistic production. A seeming back-stage pass, only this time there are no VIP lines! For two days, CHRIS BROWN and GANGAN ENSEMBLE open up their creative space to the public as they negotiate their way around the creative process, strategies of collaboration, methods of performance and composition of electronic music and radio transmission – touching upon various issues in composition, improvisation and performing electronic music. The sessions lead up to TRANSMISSION GANGAN, an open air video/sound performance at the parking space of CUBAO X on January 10. So come, if you are the action-hero-film type, this is the best time to catch the artists as they wrestle each other’s process.

FREE ADMISSION. BAR OPENS 7PM
