SFMOMA Presents Selection Of Sound Works As Part Of Acustica International Sf 2000, September 11–24

What
As part of a two-week international sound festival, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) has commissioned guest curator Klaus Schöning to present Jukebox, a mix of recorded acoustic art and experimental music by John Cage, Alvin Curran, Bill Fontana, Nicola Sani and other composers and acoustic artists drawn from the archives of Studio Acoustic Art in Cologne, Germany.

Acoustic art is a melting pot of heterogeneous elements: noise, language and music organized by means of electronic techniques into a new, unique genre. Jukebox will run daily in four rotating programs in the Museum’s Phyllis Wattis Theater (see program listings and schedule, attached).

Who Guest curator Klaus Schöning is head of Studio Acoustic Art, the experimental sound studio of the German television and radio network Westdeutscher Rundfunk in Cologne, Germany. This presentation is organized by Benjamin Weil, SFMOMA curator of media arts.

Jukebox is presented as part of Acustica International SF 2000, a sound festival that will bring works by local and international sound artists to multiple locations in and around San Francisco. The festival is presented by the Goethe-Institut of San Francisco.
