OPTION: Lou Mallozzi

Lou Mallozzi presents a rare solo set of improvisations with turntables, CDs, mixer, microphones, and text. The set will be intertwined with questions, arguments and discussion posed by theorist and artist Seth Kim-Cohen. The result may be an improvised performance that contains its own interrogation, or an interrogation that improvises its own performance.

LOU MALLOZZI is an artist who explores sound and its relationships to social space, gesture, representation, and mediation. His work includes performances, interventions, improvised music, installation, and drawing. He is Assistant Professor in the Sound Department of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and director emeritus of ESS.

SETH KIM-COHEN is a writer, theorist, and artist whose work probes the interrelationships of sound, music, and conceptualism. He is author of In the Blink of an Ear: Towards a Non-Cochlear Sonic Art and Against Ambience and Other Essays, and is Associate Professor in the Department of Art History, Theory and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
