Previous PostPrevious Khal in Book of Scores at Disjecta

Instagram

In 2014 I began a project called Khal, featuring woman artists from different cities and parts of the world responding and interpreting, composing, and performing in public 16 different sculptural scores that I originally sent from Tabriz, Iran. Those same scores were passed on to other artists for interpretation - creating in the process a trail of performances, sound pieces, conversations, images, and interviews which I have since been collecting and archiving, some of which were presented in traveling exhibitions in 2015. I am thrilled to announce that after years of gathering and communicating with over twenty five artists involved, an archival art piece publication including drawings, interviews, compositional notes, and recordings, is at its final stages to be released by Drawing Room Records @jeffjeffie and @smingsmingbooks in March 2020! @humanresourcesla will be hosting a two-day publication launch and exhibition on March 19 and 20, featuring the publication, an installation of sound, artifacts and drawings, a video projection featuring a performance dance by @maryambagheirani + many other video performances, AND live performances of new score interpretations TBA. The two-day launch will conclude with a special dinner marking the beginning of spring and the Persian New Years - Nowruz. More details to be announcedsoon! The original recipients of my scores include Kali Z Fasteau, Kelly Jayne Jones @kello_jello_yo , Heather Leigh @wishimage , Jenny Gräf @jennygraf_ , Zaïmph @lilyruskroda , Chiara Giovando @kikigiovando, Shana Palmer @shana.palmer , Purple Pilgrims @purplepilgrims , Rachael Melanson, Christina Carter, Gabie Strong @crystalline_morphologies, Ashley Paul @ashleygpaul , Angel Chirnside @snufkins_adventure , Matana Roberts, Rachel Shearer @thelovelymidget with Beth Ducklingmonster @ducklingmonster and Kathleen Kim @kteekay1 Sorry, not enough room here to mention the additional participants but please click on link in bio for more info I am also pleased to announce that the publication of this project was made possible, in part, by a recently awarded Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant! @foundationforcontemporaryarts
