    Live music and cinema by
    Joshua Churchill + Konrad Steiner
    Ven Voisey
    Danishta Rivero

    Joshua Churchill and Konrad Steiner’s expanded cinema performances are comprised of the synergistic impro
    visations of Joshua utilizing guitar, field recordings, and electronics and Konrad manipulating digitized original 16mm film and appropriated imagery. Joshua Churchillis an Oakland-based cross-disciplinary artist whose site-specific sound and light work takes the form of both performance and installation, often blurring the line between the two. He also collaborated extensively with filmmakers John Davis and Paul Clipson, has performed as a member of a number of experimental drone/metal projects, and performs solo under the moniker Plumes. Churchill has performed and exhibited his work extensively throughout the United States and abroad.
    Konrad Steiner is an curator and performer of live cinema and advocate of going to the movies. His practice includes shooting and processing 16mm film, improvised montage of video to live music and live film narration, using clips and edits from feature films.

    Ven Voisey is an Oakland-based, interdisciplinary artist, working primarily in sculpture, installation and sound. His recent works are meditations through listening and responding, mimicry and mutation, and evolution over duration. Voisey will present an untitled work for field recordings, breath, voice, and loudspeakers.

    Danishta Rivero is an improviser, performer, and sound artist based in Oakland. She explores the artifacts resulting from heavy processing of the voice and their relationship to its acoustic resonance.
