Overlap would love to point your eyes and ears to a very talented young artist, Miguel Sabogal. Miguel makes some very intriguing and beautiful film and audio work. He also curates events at The Hexagon, an awesome venue in Baltimore.

Here is a sample of his piece “CUBE”.

We’re talking to Miguel about doing an exclusive piece for Overlap. Yes.

Very important work being done here. Come out and support the project and our friends at GAFFTA.

The Internet Archive is building an Internet library offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections that exist in digital format. The Internet Archive includes texts, audio, moving images, and software as well as archived web pages. Much of this store of human knowledge is available for creative reuse. The Internet Archive Salon hosted by Gray Area Foundation For The Arts will discuss the resources available at the Internet Archive, how artists and creative people can access and contribute to the Archive, and our Open Library and BookServer projects.

For a while now I’ve needed a hand with managing all of the ideas and logistics of Overlap releases and publishing, and I’ve finally found the man. Luke recently finished a music business degree, brings expertise in publishing and releasing music, has a passion for new ways of doing things (we dig), + he is just a super awesome guy.
We’re very happy to have him as a part of the team.
Welcome Luke !

After much deliberation, Luke and I are putting the final touches on the next wave of Overlap releases.
This spring a new cycle begins, and we’ll be bringing more beautiful experimental music to all of you.

As always, thanks so much for the continued support of Overlap and the art experiment you are all a part of.

This will be a gorgeous series of light experiments and performances.

Sandra Gibson & Luis Recoder [New York City, USA] with Adam Sonderberg, sound (headliner)
CinePimps (Alfonso Alvarez & Keith Arnold) [Berkeley, USA]
Abject Leader (Sally Golding & Joel Stern) [Brisbane, Australia]

Apparent Motion celebrates the art of live image projection—the cinematic exhibition apparatus exposed as a primal light and sound machine, an invention without a future, ripe for rediscovery. Working with modified or distressed film projectors as if they were musical instruments or with live manipulation (even mutilation) of projected film (or even directly with the exalted beam of light itself), the artists presented over this weekend fuse image and sound into profound site-specific (yet cinematic) experiences—dazzling light works suggesting a paradoxically concrete form of sound/image synesthesia. From afar we welcome Abject Leader (Sally Golding & Joel Stern); Sandra Gibson and Luis Recorder with local sound artist Adam Sonderberg; Karl Lemieux and Hyena Hive; and Bruce McClure, who will each present multiple works in the company of artists CinePimps (Alfonzo Alvarez & Keith Arnold); Kerry Laitala and Michael Proft; Paul Clipson and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma; and Keith Evans. Collectively, this coterie of laudable lens-crafters will present a series of one-of-a-kind works assured to activate the exhibition space with bristling energy. It will be a weekend guaranteed to traverse the erotically sublime, confoundingly absurd, materially metaphorical and sensorial assaultive. Clearly, something for everyone is this mercurial menagerie. (Steve Polta) .

We’re excited to ramp up more Overlap releases and introduce more publishing opportunities this year.

In 2010 you can expect new work by Electricwest, Tom Hall, Groopies, Flossin, and Matmos/Willits/Boyce. !

More info, music, and videos soooon.
