Upcoming New School Events

"The Heart of the Matter: a collaborative installation with Scott Hannan, Kelly Nicholson, Luis Maurette, Alejandra Ortiz, and many, many others." Showing at the Commonweal Gallery through July 18th. Reception on July 18th at 7pm.

A twenty foot sculptural installation has emerged with a dendritic morphology, composed of quartz, stone and tree. This living energetic organism whose form will inhabit the main gallery space at Commonweal from July 7th to July 18th, will "fruit" on the full moon of July 18th, sending forth vertically another structure composed of tree.

There will be a gathering and celebration on the night of the 18th at Commonweal, with a live performance, dancing, and music by Lulacruza: "Lulacruza instinctively weaves female vocals, South American instruments, found sound objects and field recordings through electronic manipulation. A duo from Argentina and Columbia, Luis Maurette and Alejandra Ortiz make primal songs which combine improvising, channeling and working with the tangible aspects of sound." More info >>
