Saturday, March 23, 8:00 p.m. CONCERT: No Exit New Music Ensemble with Carlton Vickers  A program of avant-garde music In their fourth season, No Exit welcomes special guest Carlton Vickers who will be performing two pieces by Brian Ferneyhough—one of them a North American premiere—for solo flute. Artistic director Timothy Beyer remarked, "Ferneyhough, who is of course a preeminent figure in the New Complexity movement [in music], has written some of the most challenging music out there in regards to how difficult it can be for a performer to both learn and play. Carlton however, does a truly masterful job. He is a rather special sort of musician and we are just thrilled to have him in town doing these concerts with us [No Exit]. I should also add that Ferneyhough's music is most definitely a unique experience for the listener." This Event is FREE and open to the public.

Billboard Vinyl installation & Gallery Talk - Matt Siber: Transformer Station 2013.03.28

Billboard Vinyl installation and Gallery Talk by Matt Siber March 28, 6pm Admission free.

Matt Siber is an artist who has been using photography as a vehicle to explore how our society uses the visual language of branding. On March 28, he will be at the Transformer Station to unveil a monumental installation inside one of the galleries and talk about his work. As part of his ongoing multimedia series on the infrastructure of communication, Matt will make the first large-scale installation of his Billboard Vinyl, a 22' high draped billboard that subverts the commerical purpose of the two-dimensional advertisement and converts it into a sculptural aesthetic object. Also on view will be two examples of his earlier work that will show the arc of his exploration of our marketing communications saturated environment. Beer, wine and refreshments will be served with donations accepted for the benefit of the Transformer Station. Admission is free. Right:  Billboard Vinyls Concept Rendering
