8.20.10 Ghost Assisted Drawings and Manlicher Carcano

In conjunction with Gustavo Herrera's Birth of Satan exhibition, we present a performance of Ghost Assisted Drawings as performed by Christian Cummings and Michael Decker, and Manlicher Carcano's record release for This Is Really Happening Vol. 1 on Pleonasm Music. The evening starts at 9pm, and admission is Free! 
It is rumored that Gustavo Herrera will be elating us with some of his prosaic fineries...

A little background: 
Spectral Psychography is a form of psychic mark-making invented by Los Angeles based artists Christian Cummings and Michael Decker. The Psychographer uses an adapted Ouija device (a planchette) to collaborate artistically with unseen forces. Blindfolded, the hand forms an image while the mind remains unaware of what the hand is doing. 
Since 2004 Cummings and Decker have been collaborating with ghosts in the service of drawing, painting, poetry, sculpture and musical composition. To date they have created hundreds of Spectral Psychographs and have collaborated with the likes of Barnett Newman, Paul Klee, Walt Disney, Kieth Harring, Tony Smith, David Smith and Norman Rockwell (to name a few). Their work has been performed and exibited at creativetime New York and at the Santa Monica Museum of Art and has been included in numerous group and solo exhibitions.


Mannlicher Carcano is an improvisational audio collage group that formed in Winnipeg, Canada in the mid-80’s. The core members of the group are Really Happening (Los Angeles, CA), Porter Hall (St. John's, NL) and R.F. (Gogo) Godot (Winnipeg). MC’s sound has affinities with post-punk DIY experimentalism, avant-garde classical, experimental turntablist, and plunderphonic traditions. The group uses traditional and invented instruments (spring-strung bass, Ventor, cast aluminum cello), trickle-down electronics, portable record players playing warped Montovani at the wrong speed, stuck religious tirades or anything else on vinyl, children’s toys, radios, live phone calls, tape loops, field recordings of environmental soundscapes and contact miked appliances (plus frequent visual components) in their ongoing quest to come to terms with the contemporary urban acoustic ecology.

In addition to their weekly telephone-linked live radio program/webcast The Mannlicher Carcano Radio Hour (www.cfru.ca - since 1998) MC have issued numerous self-released recordings, appeared on experimental music and radio art compilations, produced soundtracks for experimental film, and created installations for gallery and museum spaces. Mannlicher Carcano is a seriously playful experiment in anarchistic collaborative creativity.
