Tonight’s featured guest Miguel A. García (also known as XEDH) w/ David Kirby

———-
Miguel A. Garía (also known as XEDH)

Basque artist Miguel A. García (also known as XEDH ) focuses on sound and its formal organisation, just between improvisation and electro-acoustic composition. His concerts put on show a combination of electronic sounds, field recordings and “real” instruments, aiming to get an intimate, immersive and intense experience, that is always considerate with the audience.
Miguel A. García studied Fine Arts and Audiovisual Technology. He is also involved in projects like Mubles, Baba Llaga or Válvula Antirretorno. Besides his considerable production of CDs (in labels like Zeromoon, Homophoni or White Line) and numerous live performances in Spain (Museo Vostell, Arteleku, MACUF, Museum Chillida-Leku, Guggenheim Bilbao, Tabacalera, etc.) he has performed in the United States, Norway, Poland, Portugal and France. Since 2006 he has managed and directed the Zarata-Fest Festival in Bilbao, and owns two netlabels (Larraskito and Doministiku).

Mongrels, Part 2: Elixirs

Chased around by the ghosts of a paved-over salt marsh and equipped with perverted botanists’ tools, voices of divination and herbal elixirs, we will explore the neighborhood of Gowanus on foot and onscreen.

Meet at ISSUE Project Room, from which Gina Badger will lead a field botany tour exploring the place of edible and medicinal weeds in ecologies of decolonization. Advance ticket purchase is highly recommended as attendance is extremely limited.

Gina Badger: I am an artist and writer currently working between Toronto, Montreal, and various locations south of the 49th parallel. Working in the expanded field of sculpture and installation, my practice encompasses new media and post-studio elements such as gardening, workshops, and meals. My most recent body of work, Rates of Accumulation, encompasses a sound installation, a pirate radio broadcast, a four-channel video installation, a large scale drawing, and a series of performances. Diverse in form, this work is characterized equally by the stylistic influences of historical conceptualism, land art, and experimental radio.

Much of my recent work has investigated the time and politics of contemporary ecologies. With a tone both poetic and critical, I aim to sidestep the frustrations marring current debates around ecology. Projects such as Scatter and The Sound of Things That Are Too Big and Too Old initiate encounters with the city’s marginal landscapes and flora, abandoning received histories of North America in favor of abstract postcolonial narratives. Operating on an entirely different scale, Plants In Your Pants is a hands-on intervention into the politics of vaginal ecologies in patriarchal times.

I cherish the moment when it is no longer possible to distinguish a work of art from its reception—when some aspect of the work comes to new life because it seeps out of its bounds, intermingling with its viewers. This is the phase change through which art ceases to be purely representative or reflective and becomes political. Through all of my pursuits, it is the desire for this transformation that keeps me going.

Gina Badger is grateful to Dori Midnight, Eymund Diegel, Issue Project Room, Proteus Gowanus, Halo Halo, Nika Khanjani and Adam Rosadiuk for their support and insight.
