The VCW Performance is a show of live video pieces created as part of the
Video Composition Workshop.



The Video Composition Workshop is dedicated to writing performative video
pieces. It explores how artists approach their compositions and how they
notate the scores from which the videoists perform.



This show presents completed compositions and works-in-progress of four
videoists and musicians resulting from this summer's six-week workshop. The
video pieces incorporate human breath control, XBox, language as controller,
and physical architecture. The evening will end with the VCW composers
discussing their printed scores and compositional approaches.



*Diapason Gallery*

Diapason is a listening space that gives artists and audiences the
opportunity to make and experience sound art. Through the exploration of
active and varied modes of listening Diapason seeks to engage artists and
the public in a dialogue about the place of contemporary music and sound
practice in a broader cultural context. For artists, both established and
emerging, Diapason provides a space at once accessible and technologically
advanced, fostering the creation of unique works that investigate the
implications of new sound practices. For audiences Diapason provides an
optimal listening environment and access to artists, encouraging personal
exploration of one’s relationship to sound and listening.



 Over the past fourteen years Diapason and its predecessor program (Studio 5
Beekman) have presented the work of over 350 composers and other
practitioners of sound art from the USA and abroad. Diapason presents a
broad spectrum of multi-media work, from emerging to established artists.
Three years ago, Diapason relocated to its own dedicated exhibition space in
Brooklyn, with two galleries in which we present monthly sound installations
and regular live performances year-round.

 Diapason is supported in part by public funds from the New York City
Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the city council, the
Phaedrus Foundation, Kirk Radke, and by generous individuals. Diapason is a
501(c)3 organization.
