************************
Conloninpurple, Trimpin's installation at the Tacoma Art Museum, is
an homage to composer Conlon Nancarrow (1912-1997) whose musical
compositions are too complex to be played by human beings. For this
performance of Nancarrow's works, Trimpin has created a box equipped
with 88 mallets that fits over the keyboard of an upright piano which
he will operate using a laptop computer. A rare 1989 interview with
Nancarrow will be screened, and independent curator Beth Sellars will
present a brief overview of the two-year survey of exhibitions in the
Northwest honoring Trimpin. Reception to follow with Trimpin in
attendance.
