Theatre of Only Possible Haecceities is a textile-driven installation that creates an immersive, decorative environment for inextricably sonic-visual events. Maximally stretchy, synthetic fabric transforms the venue into a parabolically warped room, functioning simultaneously as a monochromatic stage, a curtain, and a lens. Theatre of Only Possible Haecceities marries live performances of micro chamber compositions & solo improvisations with discrete material events– modulating fabric layers, traveling clusters of color, large cascading paint streams, and unfurling plastic wraps. Choreographed manipulations of brightly-colored and found objects will animate melodic passages, noise, shifts in instrumentation, and game-like performance.
Corey Fogel
Corey Fogel (b 1977) is a composer, drummer, and artist based in Los Angeles. He works across genres and mediums to explore many facets of improvisation. He approaches sounds, textiles, collaborators, gestures, and objects as viable materials for spontaneous, strategized, time-based experimental performance, often incorporating sculpture, video, familiar music traditions, theatricality, and ritual. Fogel’s works have been presented at Human Resources, The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Machine Project, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles; Redling Fine Art, Los Angeles; The Wulf, Los Angeles; the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Oaxaca, REDCAT; Los Angeles; and New Music for Strings Festival: Reykjavik. His performance work was also included in J. Paul Getty Museum’s Pacific Standard Time Performance and Public Art Festival and West of Rome’s Trespass Parade. He was awarded The California Community Foundation 2014 Fellowship in Visual Arts. He recently completed his Ph.D. in UC Irvine's Integrated Composition, Improvisation, and Technology (ICIT) program. Fogel also performs and composes in many rock, jazz, noise, folk, and chamber music capacities. Recent collaborations include: Julia Holter, Tashi Wada, Phil Minton, Patty Waters, Abigail Levine, Simone Forti, Judith Berkson, Raven Chacon, Yoshi Wada, Michael Winter, Robert Blatt, Maya Dunietz, John Butcher, John Russell, Todd Barton, Misha Marks, Brian Allen, Alexander Bruck, Patrick Shiroishi, Haley Fohr, Liz Glynn, Chris Speed, Mark Dresser, Kathleen Kim, Ezra Buchla, Tony Malaby, Devin Hoff, John Dieterich, Carlin Wing, Sam Mickens.
