Saturday June 5, 2010, Silver Spring, MD 7 pmThe tenth installment of Queering Sound again gathers together artists - with a non-exclusive curatorial focus towards gay, lesbian and post-gender-identified participants - who explore alternative avenues of expression through audio, the digital arts, performance art and spoken word. The annual event stages live performances from established and upcoming local talents as well as seeks to introduce Washington audiences to new sounds and visions from across the globe through digital contributions.Each annual installment of Queering Sound is based loosely around a conceptual thematic.
String Theory was chosen for this year's broad aesthetic interpretation: from the pure concept of physical connectivity; oscillations; vibrations; pathways; and spatial loops to the more abstract allegories of 101 Strings; guitar strings; a linear sequence of words; to string someone along; etc. or to be ignored out right by the performer.Compact discs, recordings, publications and other merchandise from contributors will be available for sale.
Admission is $10.00 and available at the door. Doors open 30 minutes before performance.
Pyramid Atlantic is located a three blocks south of the Silver Spring Metro (Red Line); Gated parking is available for free in front of the building. Please enter on the Ripley Street, side entrance.
