Friday, February 2
1. “Four Simultaneous Soloists” A series of performances organized by David Grubbs at Pioneer Works
In much the same way that Anthony McCall’s solid light works when exhibited together are experienced individually and as a group, this series of musical performances scheduled to take place within the exhibition imagines four performers—four soloists—experienced individually or as an ensemble. For each performance, four musicians are dispersed equidistantly throughout Pioneer Works’ 130-foot main hall, each situated adjacent to a solid light piece. Musicians include: Susan Alcorn – Pedal Steel Guitar, Eli Keszler – Drums and Percussion, Tomeka Reid – Cello, Nate Wooley – Trumpet. Pioneer Works, 159 Pioneer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

3. Annie Vieux, Command Field Opening at The Hole
The Hole will “Command Field,” a solo show of paintings and installation by Anne Vieux. Vieux works in the great tradition of artists who use tools wrong. Innovation through misuse is a key part of how artists are responding to technology, and here the artist starts by confounding the CCD array of a scanner by training it on holographic paper. The light source of the scanner explodes the spectrum of the paper and the lens records an other-worldly topography of insane colors and shapes. On view through March 4.
