North Quad Programming welcomes the Ann Arbor Film Festival's Off the Screen! multimedia installations to North Quad's Space 2435! Today from 4-6 p.m. there will be the opening reception along with a performance by David Olson, an Ann Arbor born multidisciplinary artist who brings his work "Grafica Harmolodica" to North Quad.
Based on video shot by Olson of avant-garde musician and composer Ornette Coleman performing in Harmolodic Studio in 2003, the installation is less documentation of that performance than visual improvisation on musical ideas. Using Space 2435's six monitors and wall projection along with large-scale prints, the installation presents graphic compositions created 20 years later when the video was remixed to the original performance soundtrack. The installation will launch with a live VJ mix of media elements at 4:30 p.m..
This a free event that is open to all. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the food, the Film Festival installations, and this unique artistic experience!
