In his final concert as the ESS Curatorial Fellow, James Gui teams up with the venue ACS to showcase experimental artists in Seoul, from avant-garde sound artists to forward-thinking synth wranglers.
In collaboration with ESS, CFA is proud to highlight a few of our past Media Mixer pieces. We hope this (re)introduction activates a fulsome conversation around archives and the importance of preservation, while also bringing to light these beautiful and challenging works, which audiences may have missed the first time around. We hope you will join us!
ESS hosts the beloved 2020 CFA Media Mixer featuring artists Jean Sousa and Kioto Aoki, Jiayi Chen and Ronnie Kuller, Rob Christopher and David Boykin.
This hour-long film program features a selection of treasures from the Chicago Film Archives (CFA) collection. Chosen by archivist Michelle Puetz and Jim Dempsey, the films and videos screened provide rare and fascinating glimpses into life in Chicago, from the 1930s to the present day.
Back for a second year, KINOSONIK is a collaboration with the Rebuild Foundation's Black Cinema House, The Nightingale, and Chicago Film Archives. This year, in mini-residencies at ESS, three pairings of musicians will collaborate to compose live scores for anthologies of film curated and sequenced by CFA from their extensive vaults. The artist pairings—Mwata Bowden/Coppice, Damon Locks/Peter Maunu, and Walter Kitundu/Katherine Young—will perform their work at The Nightingale and at Black Cinema House throughout the late summer and fall of 2015. Once again, the artists were selected based on their substantive and exemplary artistic accomplishments to date, their commitment to risk-taking exploratory approaches to sound and music, their long-standing experience in collaboration, and their interest in integrating their various sonic approaches with moving image.
