The Cardew Object
Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School, New York
Colloquium, Film, Workshops, Installations on the British experimental composer Cornelius Cardew
This three-day event explores the radical oeuvre of British experimental composer Cornelius Cardew (1936-1981) and the activities of the Scratch Orchestra (co-founded by him in 1969), and illuminates their significance today as artistic, pedagogical and political tools. Workshops, sound installations, a film screening, and an exhibition bring together historians, musicians, artists, and New School faculty and students, and are presented at The New School. In tandem with this series, the Tank Space for Performing and Visual Arts in midtown Manhattan is organizing and producing a public sound performance reflecting on Cardew's pedagogy. Inspired by The Cardew Object at the ICA London (November 2009), these events are organized as part of the Vera List Center's 2009-2010 program Speculating on Change, in collaboration with Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts and The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.
