“A Little Louder: Performance in Conversation”
In this series, arists/curators Asher Hartman and Carol McDowell look at the ideas of conversation and performance to ask simply, 'what are people thinking?" Artists in this series are invited to perform, converse, and listen with singular purpose of circulating new ideas through the lens of performance.
The pairing of artists asks us to look in between art works, at the electric space of gaps and connection. Listening can be like scavenging, collecting facets of thought-- concerted statements and unplanned segues--detailing what the speaker is conscious of (or not). meshing with and advancing our own ideas.
As performance practitioners, we're curious about the nature of what we do, its exigencies, and how it responds or recedes from the larger cultural landscape. We invited people who are simply interesting to watch, to listen to, whose ideas give us ideas. We hope you'll join us in the spirit of exploration and discovery.
iCI (Independent Curators International) is currently featuring a 2005 email of mine – in response to a cease-and-desist letter from Marina Abramovic – on their research blog, Dispatch. The curators – Mariana Azevedo, Sakina Namazi, Shannon Ryan, Keeli Shaw – have put together a nice selection of responses to and ideas on the theme of "Performance and Reperformance".

published in Deep Listening Anthology II, May 2011
The Deep Listening Anthologies are collections of work by musicians and artists from around the world who have embraced the ideas of Deep Listening in their own ways. Inspired by DL's tenets of listening, openness and play, these volumes contain a wonderful variety of interpretations and integrations of global ideas into individual practices. This volume is the second Deep Listening Anthology, containing mostly instructional scores by composers, along with scores in traditional notation, poetry, visual art, and other writings. Over 45 contributors are represented in this collection for 2010. This book can be enjoyed as a resource for performers and ensembles interested in experimental music, as a statement of community among followers of DL practice and admirers of Pauline Oliveros, and as material for musicians thinking about possibilities.
Contributing Composers include Ximena Alarcon, Jacki Apple, Nancy Beckman, Gelsey Bell, Anne Bourne, Patricia Bullitt, Micahel Bullock, Jonathan Chen, Viv Corringham, Alan Courtis, Sharon Cheslow, Stuart Dempster, Steven Dunning, Steven Eiler, Adam Fong, Dexter Ford, Joel Ford, Gigi Gamble, Ron Herrema, Matthew Hettich, Holland Hopson, Brenda Hutchinson, Marc Jensen, Ryan Keebaugh, Guy Klucevsek, Elaine Lillios, Anthony Martin, Roozbeh Nafisi, Ron Nagorcka, Adam Overton, Paul Pinto, Laurie Polster, William Roper, Andrea La Rose, Edward Schocker, Brian Schorn, Francis Schwartz, Sepand Shahab, Una Ni She, Dorothy Sinclair, Anna Stein, Sharon Stewart, Katharina Von Ruette, Sarah Weaver, Glenn Weyant and Jennifer Wilsey.
