Time: Friday, 23rd October, 2015 from 15:00-17:00
Venue: 1F Multi-function Hall, Aurora Museum
Katherine Liberovskaya has been involved in experimental video since the 80s, and during the past several decades her videos, video installations and performances have been shown all over the world. Since 2001 her work predominantly focuses on collaborations with composers and sound artists notably in live video+sound performance, where her live visuals seek to create improvisatory “music” for the eyes. Liberovskaya will present in the Aurora Museum a selection of excerpts of her video-audio works, developed in collaboration with international composers.
Katherine Liberovskaya (CA) is a video/media artist based in Montreal and New York. Aside from her artistic practice, since 2005 she has curated and organized the Screen Compositions evenings at Experimental Intermedia and, since 2006, the OptoSonic Tea series at Diapason, NYC.

The Movement of People Working: Films and Music
Time: Friday, 23rd October, 2015 from 19:00-21:00
Venue: 1F Multi-function Hall, Aurora Museum
Phill Niblock, filmmaker, sound experimentalist and pioneer of drone music, will present at Aurora Museum his most monumental film production, The Movement of People Working. Filmed in primarily rural environments in many countries (China, Brazil, Portugal, Lesotho, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, Mexico, Hungary, Peru), the films look at everyday work, frequently agrarian or marine labor.
Produced between 1973 and 1992, these films are remarkable for their realistic quality and absence of artifice, their use of long takes in high resolution and their supposedly artless juxtaposition of compelling images in vivid colors.
Phill Niblock, (Indiana, 1933), has been an active filmmaker since the late 50s and has started composing his music in 1968. His early works were all done with tape, overdubbing unprocessed recordings of precisely tuned long tones played on traditional instruments. Since the late 1990s his music has been created with computer technology, notably with Pro Tools on a Macintosh computer. Niblock’s work continues to influence a generation of musicians, especially younger players from a variety of musical genres.
