Part musical event and part sonic ceremony, Cosmovisión, the newest project from interdisciplinary artist collective Postcommodity, premieres at SFMOMA with the event Cosmovisión Torneo de la Bahia. In this work, collective members Cristóbal Martinez (Genizaro) and Kade L. Twist (Cherokee) foreground the element of sound to explore our relationships with the land we came from and occupy today. Seven Bay Area arts and cultural workers will improvise and harmonize sounds with an instrument of Postcommodity's invention. Through real-time feedback and collaboration, field recordings with personal significance transform into experimental music. Line drawings representing shared stories of the local landscape and soundscape become graphic musical scores, their images dissolving or resolving depending on performers' collective ability to achieve sonority. Using land as a mediator of relationships, Postcommodity encourages knowledge sharing, the practice of intentional listening, and the creation of generative conversations that can lead to syncretized worldviews.
Performers: JD Beltran, Rob Corder, Derek Gedalecia, Kim Shuck, Jorge Eduardo Sibaja, Rosario Sotelo, Raquel Vigil
On Floor 4, Gina and Stuart Peterson White Box
