Editorial Review  Matmos Q&A Avante Garde Noisemakers By Chris Ellis (10/13/2006)" To a casual listener San Francisco's avant garde duo Matmos might be criticized as just another "way out" band climaxing off of natural occurring sounds. There is a somewhat justified concern -- if you're making music with a deep fat fryer you might have missed the class on what makes music fun to listen to. Matmos often incorporates the popular music structures we have become accustomed to (and spend money downloading), with sounds that we experience on a day-to-day basis; a sort of conceptual juggling act that has created a fresh cannon for future musicians and artists to base their own work off of.

Editorial Review  A Slipping Glimpse at YBCA Margaret Jenkins Dance Company By Nirmala Nataraj (05/19/2006)" It's 7pm in the East Gardens of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The fog is ineluctably rolling in, and the cluster of people all around are wrapping their coats more tightly around their bodies, impatiently awaiting the spectacle promised by a mélange of synthesizers deftly mimicking nature's aural arrangements. Finally, a procession of 15 dancers robed in shades of sand and silver stroll slowly to center stage, taking their positions around individual plots of grass and cement. Vivid tableaux of leisurely movement follow -- ones that vaguely resemble tai chi, yoga, and other ancient salutations to the elements. " |
Editorial Review  Peer Pleasure 2 at YBCA Collaborative Art Makes Good By Nirmala Nataraj (05/05/2006)" Traditional gallery vestibules seem like appropriate settings for most fine art -- considering that even the most provocative works of our time have been subdued by the sterile, academic raison d'etre of modern criticism. Besides the fact that the archetypal artist is a lonely malcontent, happy to showcase his or her work in compartmentalized settings that don't spur viewer interaction or much of a two-way sentiment, for that matter. Not so with "Peer Pleasure 2", an exhibition at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts that focuses on the social potential of making art. " |
