Fleanòmia Musicircus

The platforms FLEA (USA) and Anòmia (Barcelona) -coordinated by artist in residence Arnau Sala Saez-, present Fleanòmia Musicircus, an activity divided in two days in which multi-channel pieces and live music from various national and international artists will be presented through the format proposed by John Cage in his piece Musicircus (1967); as well as talks and workshops given by Jack Callahan, Jeff Witscher and composer Clarence Barlow.

September 8 – Day 1: Lecture and workshop

American artists Jack Callahan and Jeff Witscher will present the talk “Even When I Lose I Win: A Pragmatic Approach to Communication in Time-Based Art”, followed by a workshop using the ideas discussed during the talk. Everyone is encouraged to participate, whether or not they are musicians or artists.

September 9 – Day 2: Musicircus

John Cage’s famous 1967 piece/action Musicircus (“For any number of performers willing to perform in the same place at the same time”) will be reinterpreted especially for the occasion.
