The
Guy Debord Show: Episode 10
The Greenpoint Bathing Association: Rock and Roll is
Lonely (Everybody Has A Sound to Make)
"The Spectator's Alienation from and submission to the
contemplated object (which is the outcome of his
unthinking activity) works like this: the more he
contemplates, the less he lives; the more readily he
recognizes his own needs in the images of need
proposed by the dominant system, the less he
understands his own existance and his own desires"
---Guy Debord,
The Society of The Spectacle
The Greenpoint Bathing Association
(Greenpoint's own guerilla aquanautical expedition force) invites all
and sundry to join us as we take strategic action against the "contemplated
object" in the cultural milieu surrounding contemporary musical
production. We propose a united stand against the transformation of
music-making into the alienating manufacture of "objects of desire"
or "images of need", and propose in its stead a music which
encourages free play and self-discovery within community. We are convinced
that musical expression is natural and possible for all. The hegemony
produced by the usual audience/performer dichotomy will be discarded
and new forms of musical experience will be substituted in their place.
All participants will be encouraged to act as both audience and performer.
Music will begin precisely at 10pm on Nov. 16, 2007. Instruments
will be provided but all are encouraged to bring a sound making device
of their choosing.
WHEN: Friday,
November 16, from 10pm-12:30am at New General Catalog
WHO: Everybody.
That means YOU!
