RVNG Intl, Matthew Higgs & David Van Tieghem presenting ‘Bulletin Boards’ at Venus Over Manhattan tonight
Brooklyn label RVNG Intl. is taking part in Bulletin Boards, a group show curated by Matthew Higgs (White Columns Gallery), at Venus Over Manhattan (980 Madison Ave, 3rd Floor) tonight (7/19). Here’s what the label has to say about the show:
For this group show, each artist is granted a 3′ x 4′ bulletin board space. RVNG invited a select group of musicians from different points on the avant spectrum to contribute an object to be used as a percussion arranged and affixed to the bulletin board and “played” by [David] Van Tieghem.
This performance will be multi-tracked in high definition before the opening. We will offer the recorded performance back to the contributing musicians to “re-animate” into original piece / recordings. These recordings will be culled and assembled by Van Tieghem and RVNG / The Sound of White Columns into a limited edition album for the FRKWYS.
Van Teighem will be performing at the opening tonight (7/19) and there wil be DJ sets by Matt from RVNG, Matthew HIggs, and Nick Relph. Participating artists in the show include Blanche Blanche Blanche, DIamond Terrifier, Future Shuttle (in conjunction with Anna Gonick), Hiro Kone, Robert Lange (Helado Negro), Megafortress, and more. Tonight’s show starts at 6 PM. More details, the flier, and the full list of participating artists is below.
Speaking of Blanche Blanche Blanche, their new album, Wink With Both Eyes, came out earlier this year. If you’ve yet to hear it, you can stream the album in full below.
