Thursday January 26th, the Lost Church Presents: "Musica Gestu". A collection of drawings and paintings created live at the venue in conjunction with the on going "Listening Room" concert series and experimental theater productions.

Art Fluff:
"Musica Gestu" explores... the relationship of audience to performer as well as performer and environment. A drawing is created as a reflexive act. Drawing live I blur the line between audience and performer, serving a documentary role, but also participating the the performance, actively creating in a space normally reserved for passive consumption. Painting after the fact is reflective, and serves to both clarify and obscure. This creates a distinction between the performers and their environment in a way that is similar to the visual distinction between animated elements and background elements in traditional hand drawn animation. A performance is fleeting, an audience creates it as much as the performer does, and the act of documenting through drawing, photographs, video or recording creates a nostalgic space wherein the audience can expand and perpetuate the fleeting moments otherwise lost to the passage of time.

Brass Tacks:
All individual pieces will be up for sale. In addition, Toner Transfer Mono Prints, copies of the show poster as well as merch from myself and the bands that are playing will be for sale.
