Some upcoming events that I’m involved with:

July 29-31 (Thursday-Saturday) Odd Act presents Peter Pan at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, Princeton, NJ

They’ve borrowed a bunch of my homemade instruments for this musical adaptation of Peter Pan. I’ll be there for the Thursday night show!

September 19 (Sunday noon-6pm) Move About Myrtle Festival along Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, between Clermont Ave & Hall St.

The Case of the Curious Pedestrian is a one-day exhibition of performance art and ephemeral installations as part of the Myrtle neighborhood festival. I’ll be hiding a bunch of little mechanical music machines along (above) the avenue- can you find them all?

August 2010-June 2011 Wind through the Trees – an outdoor sculpture exhibition of sound & motion at Jenkins Arboretum, Devon, PA

I’ve got two pieces in this show of environmental and kinetic sculpture – good old Trumpet Marine and a new one, Spiracles, that’ll twist its way all the way up into the treetops. The opening party will be the evening of Saturday October 2.

September 23-26 Festival of Music for People and Thingamajigs, Oakland, CA.

This year I’m helping to curate this festival of handmade instruments and alternate tunings, but I’ll probably have some sort of noisemaker in there too!

January 20-30, 2011 Pulse Art and Technology Festival, Telfair Museum of Art,, Savannah, GA

I’ll be conducting some instrument-building workshops, and possibly performing. Don’t know the exact dates yet.

January 24-February 25, 2011 Artistic Mediums at the New Art Center, Newton, MA.

My sound and micro-radio installation Songs from the Portugese will be part of this exhibit about mysterious phenomena and things that go bump in the night

…and maybe some other stuff.

Good old Flux Factory is having a show called Housebroken to inaugurate their new home in Long Island City. They invited artists to come in and mess with the space. I grabbed a few sacks of dishes and cookware from their kitchen, engraved them with various texts and images, and gave them back. They’ll be eating off this “installation” for years – or at least months, until it’s all broken.

Housebroken opens this Friday at 8pm – go!

Here’s some pictures of bits of my contribution. More at flickr.

This month I’ll be the “artist in residence” on the Brooklyn Museum’s 1stfans Twitter Art Feed. Through Twitter, I’ll be conducting variations on the Surrealist game of Exquisite Corpse, in which participants make a collaborative work of art by alternating to add pieces to it. I’m reviving a game I first organized in 1992, back in the dark ages of the web!

You’ll have to join the 1stfans membership program to play the game, but it’s a worthy cause! And I’ll post the results of the game at the end of the month.
