Taking Baggage Allowance 2,911 miles east after Gentle Gazzetta Readers: 2010 has already been one baggage-filled year and we’re only 3/4 of the way through it! On the heals of finishing my 4 month Baggage Allowance solo exhibition at the Krannert in Illinois and completing my one-week performance run of Baggage Allowance at Theater Artaud in San Francisco, I moved for the first time in 15 years (albeit only 20 feet over). It’s taken me almost all summer to really get myself settled into my new live/work studio (right next door to my old one). |
But also I managed to fit in two trips to New York to rehearse and perform with Rinde Eckert in Elise Kermani’s Film/Performance hybrid "Poe and the Museum of Lost Arts" at Three-Legged Dog. And, I squeezed in the time to remix one of my earlier pieces for inclusion as a bonus track on Air Traffic Control’s benefit compilation "Dear New Orleans”. |

Meanwhile, my calendar for fall has started to get filled in with a number of events and activities in the Bay Area and far beyond. I’m taking Baggage Allowance to NYC next month for it’s East Coast premiere at the Kitchen. Once again the irony of the subject matter comes to the fore as I work on figuring out how to carry-on, check, ship, and/or teleport all of the show’s suitcases, trunks, equipment, and props to New York. I suppose I should choose the subject of my next piece carefully – and perhaps make it about something I really want a lot of.... In addition to my New York performance, this fall I’m giving solo and shared concerts in San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Irvine, and Houston. I’m also composing music for Mary Armentrout’s new dance work, doing a one-month residency at Djerassi (Woodside, CA) and, in early 2011, a two-month residency at the Montalvo Arts Center (Saratoga, CA). Also, quietly but steadily simmering on the back burner is the 2010/11 Room Series. Keep your eyes & ears perked for soon-to-be leaked news of some of the special guests I will be presenting at Royce Gallery. And, before any of the above-mentioned things happen, I’ll be attending and staffing the 11th annual San Francisco Electronic Music Festival at Brava Theater in early September. (Check out the new and improved sfemf.org for the 411 on that.) Hope to see you all at whichever of these performance events happen in a venue near you! Read on for the deets... - PZ |
