For the performance and event stage NADA has commissioned a new structure from the artist collective SIMPARCH. SIMPARCH has teamed up with their frequent collaborator, Chris Vorhees, to design and construct a stage that takes on the iconic form of a band shell constructed using geodesic building principles. The built structure will transform when not in use as it responds to active and dormant states throughout the duration of the fair.

Installations and structures by SIMPARCH and Chris Vorhees have been presented in numerous venues around the world including the Venice Biennale Architecture/11th International Architecture Exhibition, the Tate Modern, 2004 Whitney Biennial, Documenta XI, The Wexner Center for the Arts, and The Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago. SIMPARCH also has permanent installations on site at the Center for Land Use Interpretation, Wendover, UT.

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone (CFTPA) is the beats-and-keys solo project of singer, song-writer and Chicago resident, Owen Ashworth. Drawing heavy influence from traditional Americana as well as 80’s synth pop and com-mercial hip hop, the music of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone is a curious mix of austere character studies and playful electronic programming.

Ashworth’s most recent album, Etiquette, changed the focus from a decidedly utilitarian aesthetic to a broader production spectrum that finally gave his affecting song writing the space it deserves. In collaboration with producers and musicians like Jherek Biscoff (of The Dead Science and Degenerate Art Ensemble) and Jason Quever (The Papercuts and Pan American Recording Studio), the sound of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone has grown to include pianos, organs, strings, flutes, drums, and pedal steel guitars in addition to Ashworth’s signature elec--tronics and drum machines. Live, Owen Ashworth recreates his recordings using a makeshift dub soundsystem. Glitchy drum machine rhythms, battery-operated synths, melodic loops, and hand-triggered samples are routed through various echo boxes and filters to accompany his slow, deliberate vocal style.

Daniel Perlin, aka DJ N-RON, is an artist and sound designer based in Brooklyn, New York. DJ N-RON has performed and recorded with dj/rupture, Vito Acconci, Damo Suziki (CAN), M.Sayyid, and is currently completing his second album The Pure Capital mixtape to be released on Giant Corporate records in January, 2009.

Jan Mioduszewski is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in painting, installation and performance. Born in 1974, he lives and works in Poland. Mioduszewski has conceived of a particular notion of “still performance” during which his costume works as a mirror image and extension of a painting hung on the wall. He is also works under the moniker of “Furniture Factory”, an imaginary artistic enterprise.
