More information on the exhibit at Illegal Art

Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in the Corporate Age opens in the Bay Area after successful exhibitions in NY and Chicago. As the Bay Area has some great artists, musicians, and other media artists, this show has been expanded for its arrival in town.

These concerts have been arranged to give audiences a taste of a various approaches to music-making all of which use audio materials from other sound sources. Some of these artist operate in the realm of music, others in sound collage, and in a few cases, even in multimedia collage. The performances will range from explicit appropriation (i.e. readily recognizable audio elements formed into new patterns), to humorous cut-ups, to directly political assaults, to abstract soundscapes.

Cost: $5-10
