L@TE: @BAM/PFA with Chris Kubick & Seth Horvitz

Melding visual art and performance in new ways, the programs on this schedule are primarily inspired by themes explored in BAM/PFA’s fall exhibitions, including  and .

Kamau Patton, an artist based in New York and San Francisco, is an artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem, and was one of four artists selected for SFMOMA’s 2010 SECA Art Award. His programs for L@TE explore the artistic legacy of Kurt Schwitters. Patton’s first event features performances by Chris Kubick and Seth Horvitz, two artists working in digital and electronic media whose work investigates notions of space and collage. Berkeley-based artist Kubick will present Many Many More Than One, a swirling multichannel audio-video environment that explores and twists film and T.V. sound effects that simulate the murmurs of crowds. Sound artist Horvitz will fill the museum with a complex audio composition that uses a recording of Schwitters reciting his epic sound-poem Ursonate as source material.
