While Stan Brakhage opted against the use of sound in his films, tonight at Cinefamily LA, Lee Ranaldo will provide a live musical performance to their screening of the beautiful Text of Light—not as a score, but as a foregrounding for a “further element for improvisation”.

Joining him will be saxophonist Ulrich Krieger and guitarist Alan Licht, collaborating in a kind of “mixed-media collage”. You can see a recording of a past performance they’ve done here.

We can’t tell you how excited we are for the 01 Magazine group show happening at 107 Shaw this week. We’re big fans of 01, and have long wanted to attend their impressive group photography shows.

The huge roster of artists involved includes Peter Sutherland, Bree Apperley, Jessica Eaton, Leo Fitzpatrick, Niall McLelland, Nicholas Gottland, Coley Brown, Mel Paget—it’s crazy. The opening is March 11th, starting at 7pm.

Looking forward to a Ryan Trecartin screening of his 2009 Trill-ogy Comp series, Sibling Topics, K-Corea INC.K and P.opular S.ky, tomorrow, Tuesday March 9th, at Double Double Land. It’s $5 and starts at 8pm.

Those of you in New York should check out Leipzig's Lubok Verlag table at the INDEPENDENT art fair this week. It's at the former DIA Center of the Arts, from March 4-7th. They've released a bunch of new books since their appearance at the Printed Matter Book Fair last fall, and we wish we could attend.

The INDEPENDENT is open to the public free of charge, and I'd recommend checking out their public programs schedule—lots of interesting panels.
