   10 South Street, New York, NY (Map) 31 May – 10 August 2008 Open Friday, Saturday, Sunday: Noon – 6PM (Free) Opening Reception: 31 May, 6–8 PM [Download press release] Creative Time Presents Playing the Building: An Installation by David Byrne

   Playing the building is a sound installation in which the infrastructure, the physical plant of the building, is converted into a giant musical instrument. Devices are attached to the building structure — to the metal beams and pillars, the heating pipes, the water pipes — and are used to make these things produce sound. The activations are of three types: wind, vibration, striking. The devices do not produce sound themselves, but they cause the building elements to vibrate, resonate and oscillate so that the building itself becomes a very large musical instrument.

No, the queen of L.A. punk moved to Jefferson City in 2006 to create collage art in a large barn. She writes, and she is still making music. “When you live in a big city your whole adult life, it’s nice to get away,” she explained, “and I didn’t grow up in a big city; I grew up in small towns.” Cervenka now enjoys the luxuries of rural life, appreciating her limestone house and the black Angus cows that dot her horizon. via Columbia Tribune
