This program has been canceled
It is the fascination with the cut-up—the buried melody from an old Platter ’45, the hum of a tube amplifier revived from your Grandfather’s garage—that starts the journey. Sample practitioners and video artists will collaborate for an evening of personal narrative, electronic beatitude, and epic bounce.
Visit www.mocacleveland.org/blog for a list of artists and a discussion of the cut-up.

WHEN 11am / FREE and open to the public
WHERE MOCA Cleveland main galleries
[SOME INSIGHT]
To produce his work, artist Jean Luc Mylayne spends hours, days, weeks, and even months gaining an intimate knowledge of the environment and birds that he photographs. Mylayne’s conceptual practice bears formal similarities to bird watching, a popular and passionate activity for many Northeast Ohioans.
This two-part program will explore the relationship between birding and conceptual art. We begin with a bird watching expedition led by Andy Jones, Curator of Birds for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Using the Shaker Lakes Nature Center trails as our classroom, Jones will lead a one-hour introductory lesson on bird-watching. After this outdoor workshop, we will “migrate” to MOCA Cleveland for light refreshments followed by an engaging tour of the Mylayne exhibition led by Megan Lykins Reich, Assistant Curator.

MOCA Mix: jazz: Oblique Orchestra
Members FREE / $6 Non-members
There is something mysterious about trios, almost as if a duet is being moderated, but you never know when the roles will switch. The jazz trio is where this play is most apparent—whether it’s the bass and drums as the sax gives a sublime play by play, or the tension created when all but the drums drop out, and then all three explode together. On bass, Bill Nichols, on soprano and tenor sax, Dan Wenninger, and on drums, the legendary Carmen Castaldi.
