Mark Allen very graciously invited me to speak to his 2 classes at Pomona College, Intro to Digital Art and Sound Art. It's so much fun talking about the things you love. The Sound Art class was especially great - we had extra time in that session so we kicked things off with a sound-walking activity by Hana van der Kolk, and finished with a collaborative exquisite corpse guided meditation.
I'm excited to announce the official release of artSpa's energy assessment of the Hammer Museum, conducted last Summer!
In late August & September of 2009, artSpa completed an energy assessment of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, produced in partnership with Machine Project, to help kick off a year-long engagement between the two institutions. The assessment employed several artist-intuitives, -psychics, -ghosthunters, and -psychonauts in order to energetically map the Hammer, and to provide suggestions for improving its energetic interface for visitors, spirits, and museum administrators.
artSpa energy assessors included:
Enjoy, and keep your eyes peeled for a couple other artSpa events coming up this year with the Hammer and Machine Project.

Kadet Kuhne: (Not) Recording the Hammer Saturday February 6, 1-2PM
Kadet Kuhne will be staging a listening exercise which aims to draw the attention of the eyes to the ears of those that notice her. While she slowly traverses the grounds with a shotgun microphone in hand, the illusion of recording inspires an active engagement with the sonic subtleties of the Hammer museum.

program & performers tba...
a musical minimum festival
program a festival or event of experimental music and/or performance that consists only of works with indeterminate elements that might permit extremely minimal realizations. then, perform the most minimal realization of each of the works, holding fast to the instructions and minimums presented within each score, and not taking into consideration any additional external specifications, recommendations or preferences of the composer or other interested parties. additionally, feel free to choose works you're interested in, but do not program for variety – in the end, several (or all) of the works may in fact be silent, or barely present, or may nearly (or exactly) resemble one another.

Ongoing
this month visitors of the Hammer (or any other institution) are invited to perform the following instructions:

presented by Adam Overton and friends, and hosted at the Hammer Museum with the help of Machine Project
the subtle bodies series is a sporadic, year-long engagement involving several artists, performers, choreographers, and sound artists working to facilitate subtle, barely-noticed experiments in sound, movement, action, and energy around the Hammer Museum. Ranging from performances and workshops to activities and rumors, these subtle occurrences are lightly announced, barely present, and open to any who might care to notice or participate. The series lives in peaceful parallel with the regular, everyday activity of the Hammer, and presents an opportunity for those involved to expand and experiment with their museum-going repertoire.

Johanna Reed will be available to smell at the Hammer, every Monday, February 22 - March 15, from 2-3 pm. In the performance Interactions (Scent), Johanna asks you to observe her through scent and then, immediately afterward, document your observations in writing. How you gather your data and the form your record takes is up to you. (In exchange for your document, you will be given a small booklet to take home.)
