[Nettime-ro] Atsushi Nishijima at LOCATION ONE |
Location One is happy to announce an upcoming performance by former Location One artist-in-residence Atsushi Nishijima. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Live music performance by composer and visual artist Atsushi Nishijima at LOCATION ONE Friday, November 22nd 2002, 8PM Admission: $10, Members Free GALLERY INFORMATION Location One is located at 26 Greene Street NYC 10013, between Grand and Canal Streets. Subway: Canal Street (N, R, 6, A, C, E, J, M, Z) (212) 334-3347 This performance will be streamed live at www.location1.org Atsushi Nishijima received his Bachelor's degree in Musical Technology from the Osaka University of Art in 1989 and his Master's degree in Media Art in 2001 from the International Academy of Media Arts and Science in Gifu. Trained in experimental and contemporary music, Nishijima creates sculptures and installations that emphasize the idea that sound, and thereby music, is inherent in all objects and environments. A particularly important resource for the artist is the city as a gigantic synthesizer from which everyday sounds are selected and transformed into a unique "sound" due to "space". Nishijima was in residency at Location One from September 2001 through January 2002. In addition to his solo exhibition Nishijima had two performances at Location One and participated in the group exhibition Signal to Noise (Sept. 10-Oct.19, 2002). Nishijima's work has been exhibited and performed throughout Japan, (solo exhibitions and performances include: Osaka Contemporary Art Center and Ashiya City Museum of Art & History, Hyogo 1992; Dohjidai Gallery of Art, Kyoto, 1998; "John Cage-Memorial" Gallery 360s, Tokyo, 2002), as well as Singapore, Paris, New York, and Mexico ("Citycircus", New Museum of Contemporary Art, 1994, an exhibition curated by Laura Trippi, Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros, Mexico City, 2002). Atsushi Nishijima has also performed at alternative music venues in New York City, such as Galapagos Art Space and Tonic.
