Amidst: Concert Series Part One Ursula Scherrer
Shelley Hirsch (US) - voice Flo Kaufmann (Switzerland) - live electronics Ursula Scherrer (Switzerland / US) - live video Hirsch, Kaufmann, and Scherrer collaboratively manipulate the space. Unintended narratives unfold from various vantage points. Shelley Hirsch, performing for the third time with Ursula Scherrer, sings and speaks in a voice capable of mercurial transformations: at some times blending in like a chameleon, while at others defining herself as an outside figure: commenting, weaving together the audiovisual constructs thought up by Scherrer, Kaufmann and the viewers. Flo Kaufmann samples Hirsch’s live singing, her captured voices becoming a Greek Chorus as he mixes them with the soundtracks he distributes to the different speakers placed in the installation space. Ursula Scherrer mixes the images live with an antiquated analog video mixer, manipulating the projectors to highlight one area of the installation, darkening another. A handheld projector is used as a spotlight capturing Hirsch on her journey amid "Amidst." $5 - $15 or FREE with Lab membership
