Son[i]a #67
Alex Waterman
Multifaceted New Yorker Alex Waterman – cellist, composer, writer and curator – presented the lecture performance Agape: Experimental Notations, the Social Act of Reading and the Possibility of Action at MACBA on October 1, 2008. The event was part of the exhibition Possibility of Action: the Life of the Score, the accompanying concert series and the program Lines of Vision.
Agape was a multidisciplinary attempt to address the role of reading as a social act and a set of actions in order to reinvigorate a sense of participatory action in a proposed democratic society, in which art also has a voice.
In the wake of Agape, Son[i]a interviews Alex Waterman on various aspects of the world of experimental music.
