Architect's rendering of construction for the 23E Studios theater, as installed in Fringe Exhibitions. The MVM is pleased to announce our next big show: Disembody will be a solo show at Fringe Exhibitions in LA's Chiantown. You can visit the website we're developing for the project here. The show is scheduled for July 2008, with a tentative opening date of July 12th. For Disembody we are founding a Hollywood film studio called 23E Studios. We are converting the lower level of Fringe into the production offices for 23E. These will feature an editing bay and IT office. It will also feature a reality style confessional for visitors to the show and participants in the show to leave feedback for our website and film. The film we will be shooting at Fringe will be a documentation of 23E Studios building our Hollywood Dream House Theater on the main floor of Fringe. This will be a fully functioning digital theater with a concession stand and arcade. As well, the main level will include a small soundstage for recording the soundtrack to the film. oRSo will be composing the soundtrack. The gallery will be open for the 7 days we are building the studio. On the seventh night we will premier the film in the theater. The theater will be open, showing the film every couple hours for a week or so afterwards. There is a blog here offering blow by blow details for those interested in such things. We're all very excited about the project. First of all, working with Fringe is an honor. Second,we have assembled a crew (23 people at last count) second to none for this project. Every one of whom it is an honor for us to work with. Bios will be up at the 23E website soon. Forever What?, America's Most Important Conceptual Band, will be displaying their piece, Portrait Of A Fan at The Tricycle Gallery in San Francisco in May. This will be accompanied by weekly performances throughout the month. Check back here and at The Tricycle's site for dates and times and advance tix. |

Current Exhibits
The Stowe-Pembleton Project CD Hommage An Klaus Kinski is out. This is improv jazz with heavy doses of post-fusion (Nobu Stowe) and sampled chaos (Lee). It's available from Soul Note/Black Saint as compact disc and as MP3 downloads. Hoorah! The next record, Confusion Bleue, is slated for a February-March release in 2009 on Soul Note/Black Saint. The third record was recorded in late January, and is currently being mixed. Nobu seems uncomfortable with calling it Ovarian Dystopia Your Vibrant Disease, so who knows what it will be titled. Cuts from the first two records can be found at the group's MySpace page. |
