These are the artists -- they're in bands, performing and recording their own music. They run their own labels with a focused aesthetic not based on a throw-away capitalist society. They fashion their cover art in celebration of the unique, handmade object. They run clubs, venues, and performance spaces, cultivating audiences peripheral to the corporate-run industry. They play music that lies outside the perimeter, expanding and challenging notions of sound, composition, and performance. They make videos, curate and promote concerts, and run independent radio stations. They create the clothes and the posters. They build the stage. They make it happen.

Frequencies is about connectedness -- a scene, a community.

Frequencies is an experiential and holistic exhibition which captures facets of the DIY community and extends outside the physical bounds of the gallery -- referencing both "public art" and "life as art" movements. It questions the artist-viewer vs. musician-audience relationships, and thus the cognitive division between visual art and music, gallery and rock venue. The gallery interior will be visually and functionally converted into an experimental music space; and over twenty performances will take place within and outside the gallery throughout the month, further blurring the division between staged performance and living art. These additional venues -- including Goodbye Blue Monday, Cake Shop, Glasslands, free103point9 Project Space, The Tank @ Collective:Unconscious, The Tooth, and Raven's Den -- will serve both as galleries and as concrete manifestations of the intangible music community.

Frequencies is artist Jordon Schranz's curatorial debut, which was inspired by the culmination of experiences and people encountered during five years of touring and performing within the avant-rock and free-jazz scenes. He owes much to his partnership with artist/musician Marie Evelyn, and to Steve Trimboli of Goodbye Blue Monday -- who have helped greatly in the conceptualization and creation of this show.

"Memory Fountain," site-specific installation by Michael Dominick, will continue in the outdoor space.
