Pro Arts' Hybrid Series event blurs the traditional boundaries between artistic disciplines—bringing together writers, poets, musicians and visual artists, revealing to audiences new connections between subject and media. The Hybrid Series #4 includes a performance by Berkeley based musician,
Christina Stanley, a video presentation by theater performance company Mugwumpin, and talks by 2x2 curator Samantha Reynolds, and artist Christie Yuri Noh.
Experimental singer/songwriter,
Christina Stanley combines acoustic instruments, including piano and violin, with electronic sounds and processing. She has performed and recorded as a member of SFSound and ROVA Saxophone Quartet, as well as with former Bauhaus-member David J, and Bay Area bands Boyskout and Silent Pictures. Christina has been a featured Solo performer for the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, a vocalist for the William Winant percussion ensemble, and has premiered works by George Lewis and Roscoe Mitchell for Mutable Music under conductor Petr Kotik.
Mugwumpin gives us a video preview of their new interactive performance piece, Luster, a performance and photography installation designed to manifest audience participants' ideals of beauty and glamor.
Between discovering and witnessing, Christie Yuri Noh’s practice explores the thingness of our experience of things. Her first solo exhibition, Information About The Outside World presents some of Yuri Noh’s recent and new commissioned works exploring the relationships between inner human life and outward appearance in the world.
A native Chicagoan, Reynolds completed her master’s degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Arts Administration & Policy department. Here, she worked on a variety of curatorial and public programming projects and researched the adaptive and resilient nature of cultural organizations.
Prior to moving to the Bay Area, Reynolds worked as the Curatorial Fellow at Hyde Park Art Center focusing predominantly on the biennial exhibition, Ground Floor – which features recent MFA graduates from five Chicago universities. While there, she also served as the Interim Residency Manager, working with visiting international artists to develop research-based projects, public programs and connect with various cultural communities. Outside of Pro Arts, Reynolds continues to be involved in a variety of curatorial projects focusing on emerging and experimental artist practices in the Bay Area.
