The Artist Who Turns Glass Shards and IV Drips into Instruments

The joy of situationist graffiti

Sometimes great things are born from happy accidents. Fifty years ago today in San Francisco, composer Steve Reich premiered It’s Gonna Rain, his first official piece. The music, made by manipulating a recording of a Pentecostal preacher, opened a door to a new way of composing for Reich and helped launch his career.

THE FUTURE IS NOW: Computers & Communications 

Crass Digbeth Hall, Birmingham, 1983

“[W]earing a mirror mask, a black, vaguely antiquarian dress, with hands and feet painted white, she holds a white bowl of fruit and stands on the side of a country road. The more dramatic the appearance, the more disturbing the disappearance. As performances which are contingent upon disappearance, Festa’s work traces the passing of the woman’s body from visibility to invisibility, and back again. What becomes apparent in these performances is the labor and pain of this endless and liminal passing.” - Peggy Phelan
