10/23/09 - HOF @ Soo Arts Visual Center

Main Course on NIght 2 of the Soo Vac/OX-OP "Non Consensual Post Dada Constructivist Cerebral Warts Art/Music/Film Festival" was a rare live performance by H.O.F. aka Halo of Flies aka HazeXXL/King Buzzo/Paddy/+.



From the official press release...

Each night of the four-day event, performance art takes on a literal meaning with live music sequestered in yet another gallery within the gallery. The musicians will be performing behind large screened windows facing the main gallery, harshly backlit so that the audience sees only silhouetted shadows and movement. Four security cameras inside the room will broadcast those performances live onto screens in the main gallery, playing with perceptions of time and space and lessening even further our distinctions between reality and the alternate broadcast reality which is far to often blurred.



The depth of field in these snaps fuck even further with perceptions of space... the black and white projection screen in the middle of the floor was approximately 5 feet high. The brownish images in the rear are the screened window. And is often the case... largest of all is King Buzzos hair.
