McEvoy Foundation for the Arts (MFA) presents an Artist Talk with filmmaker Alison O'Daniel. Curator Tanya Zimbardo joins O'Daniel to discuss her unfolding project "The Tuba Thieves," including the process of reimagining through film the punk show for the closing party of the Deaf Club in San Francisco in 1979.
"The Tuba Thieves" (2013-) is both a feature-length film in progress and an expanding project of mixed-media installations, sculptures, and performances through which O'Daniel invites audiences and collaborators "to navigate, de-construct and re-imagine sound." The Los Angeles-based artist, who is hard of hearing, collaborates with hearing, Deaf and Hard of Hearing composers, musicians, performers, and athletes in her work across mediums.
This program is offered with ASL-interpretation. 'Alison O'Daniel: The Tuba Thieves' is on view through September 7, 2019 in conjunction with the exhibition 'What is an edition, anyway?' The program repeats approximately every half hour.
