THE NIGHT – A Minneapolis Multimedia Performance

SPECIAL EVENT

August 3, one night only

A one-night Minneapolis multimedia performance by The Night. The Night is a new media ensemble whose work focuses on the interrelations between sound and image. They use musical improvisation and elegant computer programming. Their music features a real-time video. The performance affects their video.

Formed in early 2003, the group consists of an ever-changing group of musicians and artists, mostly Oberlin College graduates, including sitar player Ami K. Dang, video artist John Hensel, Travis Johns, who plays bass and electronics, and others. Their work has been featured in many places. This includes the 2003 Placard Experimental Music Festival, The Spaceworks Gallery (NYC), and the Allen Memorial Art Museum.

They will preview their East Coast August tour with a performance here in Minneapolis at the Susan Hensel Gallery on August 3, 8 pm-10 pm. Free.

Travis Johns work can be heard on Fighter Pilots, available from iTunes

Susan Hensel Gallery

The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture. It is a gallery where experimental ideas and works of the hand join to create unique sensory experiences. Opened September 10th, 2004 Susan Hensel Gallery is a gallery/ workspace. The space presents 5-6 shows per year in an intimate space, with hardwood floors and high tin ceilings.
In 2013 the interior space reverted to a working studio for Susan Hensel. This is where she continues to work on small and largescale artwork that engages both sculptural and cultural space. You can find her current work at www.SusanHenselProjects.com. The Susan Hensel Gallery is now both a large window gallery on Cedar Avenue, the main thoroughfare in south Minneapolis and an online venture represented on Artsy.net
