Laurie Anderson
January 19, 2012 at 8:00 pm
After a uniquely multi-faceted career and more than 30 years as one of the world’s definitive voices of experimental performance art, Laurie Anderson brings her considerable talents to the intimate environs of Perimeter Institute. Another Day in America shows a nation laid bare. It is an artistic treatment of contemporary America that is simultaneously and unapologetically political.
Building on Homeland, her acclaimed 2010 album, Anderson will present a solo show that blends spoken word, electric violin, keyboards, and electronic experimentation. She will explore her country’s current landscape through stories of cities and people that are sure to resonate with anyone well acquainted with today’s United States of America.
Anderson is a pioneer and an iconoclast. She’s presented her visual work in major museums worldwide, done ground-breaking work with voice filters, and seamlessly integrated cutting-edge technologies into her art. She even served as NASA’s only artist-in-residence. And now she’s coming to Perimeter. Do you really want to risk missing that? | | | |
