ArtSounds presents "Playing Fields," a collaboration between James Mobberley and Brett Reif.
7:30 p.m. in Epperson Auditorium.
"Playing Fields" is an evolving installation and visual concert in one act. The work developed from conversations about sound textures, object textures, and unorthodox creative processes.
"Playing Fields" refers to the manner in which people domesticate, organize, collect, beautify, clean, cook and play in an attempt to posses, to keep, to know.
The event does describe a subtle narrative about desire but the overall sequence is largely a blurry narrative that has multiple associations and interpretations while straddling the concert, gallery and theater experiences.
ArtSounds is a series where composers, performers and visual artists join together to present a series of performances. Initiated by faculty from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music and the Kansas City Art Institute, ArtSounds explores cross-media expression through creative concert-making. Faculty partners from each institution produce provocative events that explore a maximum breadth of means, methods, media and music: art sounds and music sees.
