Matt Rotando & Ben Cramer, Dec. 19th, 3PM
There is a tile. Its sides are presence, absence, information, disinformation, pleasure, and voice. It is the telephone. Matt Rotando and Ben Cramer have been squatting on this tessellation for about a decade, maybe more, and now would like to share with you some of their favorite transmissions. Matt Rotando will warm you up with some little stories about animals and thought. Then Ben Cramer will slide in and gift you with a gratuitous cannonade of telephonic prosoetry. The whole experience could have vainglorious implications for your pre-holiday weekend, throwing everything into a glittery new light. Come squat with us.
Alden Gatt Crossover, Dec. 15th, 8PM

Alden's experimental settings of the mystical poetry of Rumi will be performed with a stellar ensemble including Arooj Aftab and Aida Shahghasemi.
