Live Art is a pop-up— a new art, music, prose and music genre structured like a magazine, with front-matter, features, and interstitial delights. It’s editor-in-chief, the artist and photographer Amanda Herman, with much help from her friends, stages a fast-moving series of short, 2 minute pieces, a few six or eight minute main articles, and a string of surprises–like a magazine’s cartoons, verse, pensive reflections and memoir.
In the shadow of the looming presidential election, local and regional artists contemplate modalities of LISTENING – this issue’s theme — as a political act, mode of surveillance, way of locating one’s place in the swirling world and of tuning into the whispered sub-texts behind the stories of today.
The performers are local and regional — writers, poets, artists, musicians, dancers, filmmakers–risk-takers all. For the fourth year, we ‘publish’ their new work and work-in-progress on the stage.
