Cantaloupe Music will release So Percussion and Matmos' Treasure State this summer. Long in the making, Treasure State is a visionary collaboration between So Percussion and the Baltimore based electronic duo Matmos.

Bridging the gap from the conservatory to the laptop screen, these groups share a love of propulsive musical experiment. The resulting collaborative album, Treasure State, is a checkerboard of Matmos and So Percussion compositions, but in each case these ensembles have reinforced each other's techniques and methodologies. The core of the record is a series of studies of the musical resources of everyday and not-so-everyday elemental materials: ceramic planters, pails of water, aluminum beer cans, cactus needles, cans of house paint. The result is a richly diverse yet highly listenable record that flows across a range of genres, sound sources, objects and styles to create an elemental American landscape.

On June 12th and 13th 2010 boomBOOM Presents and Search & Restore unleash the Undead Jazzfest on New York City. Hot off the success of Winter Jazzfest, these like-minded, ambitious concert presenters have revived the same two-day, many-artist, multi-venue formula. For two Summer nights, one ticket will give jazz fans access to Le Poisson Rouge, Kenny’s Castaways, and Sullivan Hall -- three clubs with distinctly different aesthetics, reputations and histories, and all uniting to celebrate the many identities of jazz being created today in New York City. As founders/producers of Undead, Brice Rosenbloom and Adam Schatz are on a mission to shake the tired image of jazz as a music of the past, a historical footnote, and worst of all, expensive. Jazz is a music of the people, and hinged on the exciting force of improvisation. The music can take on so many vibrant forms, each bringing a listener to a new place of enjoyment, euphoria and overall sonic stimulation. All of the 30+ groups participating in this festival bring improvisational personality, compositional agenda and unique ideas to the table. They have been consciously united for these two nights to centralize the jazz adventures that occur on a nightly basis in New York, and bring it all to a climax at three Greenwich Village clubs within one block of each other. Undead Jazzfest is as much a festival for the fans of jazz’s developing history, as it is for those who have always wanted to know more about the music but do not know where to start. Whether or not you’ve heard of all or none of the 150+ musicians performing in the Undead Jazz Festival, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re there to let the music speed your pulse and blow your mind.

Alexander Kaletski: Life of the Party

June 22 through September 7, 2010

The Gallery at (Le) Poisson Rouge is pleased to announce the opening of its forthcoming exhibition of Russian-born NY-based artist Alexander Kaletski.

In this exhibition Alexander Kaletski continues his remarkable series of cardboard paintings with his parade of eye-catching characters. His paintings are composed of the amazing cardboard people that inhabit our contemporary world. They are the individuals of the New York cityscape, the extraordinary person in every crowd that we could easily miss. Kaletski captures their images with the simplest means – lines and hints of color, utilizing the rich discarded materials of the city streets. In addition to the provocative images produced, the viewer is confronted with the amplification of the logo or design- remnant of the original product contained. The cardboard packaging remains intact, scarred, pitted and torn, but artfully reborn.

Alexander Kaletski’s cardboard paintings are a result of his earliest days in the United States. Unable to buy expensive art supplies during his first years in the USA, he wandered the streets of Manhattan, picking up cardboard boxes readily available on the sidewalks. They were free and rich in texture and color. He began documenting on cardboard the people that he encountered in the city. Beginning with the commercial packaging he transforms through the use of line, color and collage, the logos and printed signs, leaving the viewer wondering if the resulting effect was closely planned or a chance.

His minimalist use of popular imagery combined with found objects provides the viewer with a new take on an established image, creating unexpected and striking portraits. The resulting artwork informs, provokes, and amuses.

Alexander Kaletski has exhibited his “Cardboard” works at the Aldrich Museum, the Nassau County Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Minsk as well as numerous galleries both here and abroad.

This is a partially seated event. Seating is limited and not guaranteed; please arrive early for seating.

Founded in the Summer of 2009, and without a doubt one of the best underground parties in the heart of gotham, Wax Poetics magazine, Halcyon, Raw Fusion, Great Weekend, and Fusicology, present this monthly all-vinyl oasis, featuring a dream team of resident romantics. Sharing deck duties are (six!) resident djs Amir (bbe), one half of the internationally known rare-record collector and mixtape duo, Kon & Amir; prolific beatsmith Ge-Ology (Female Fun), boasting remix credits from Pete Rock to PPP; The Twilite Tone (Great Weekend), both a key player in the seminal 90's Chicago house scene, and long-time producer and dj for Common; New York veterans OP! and Scribe (Raw Fusion NYC), and Jon Oliver (EVR), the baby of the bunch. The sounds are mind-wide, foot-friendly, and snap crackle popping. Anything is fair game, but you can expect to hear some soul, disco, dilla, boogie, hustle, hip-hop, old-school house, no wave, new jack swing, dancefloor jazz, bossa nova, salsa, funk, electro, and afrobeat. No pretentious bullshit, no dress code (not that you shouldn't come sexy as hell), no commercial radio crap, and no laptops allowed.
