Atlanta Art Week Event:
Ear Pollen Pt. 2 | West Midtown
Saturday: Oct 5, 2024 | 4:00 PM
535 Means St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
About Event:
Event Description
Join us for a collaborative, improvisational performance with Klimchak.
The Ear Pollen Series started at Gallery 378 in 2020. Klimchak curated the monthly performances by selecting 3-5 musicians to perform a totally improvised concert together. The series was just getting started when Covid hit and ended it. At Atlanta Contemporary, Klimchak has revived the series in a minimalist compact form, while retaining the improvised format. For the Ear Pollen Series, Pt 2, Klimchak is performing in a series of duets, each month with a different partner and featuring different instruments. In many ways, the duet is the perfect vehicle for improvisation, as it allows the performers to treat their playing as a form of conversation, introducing new ideas, batting those ideas back and forth and taking them to new places to keep the dialog flowing. Part 2 becomes a 2 part conversation for the audience to witness and enjoy.
This event will take place outside in our courtyard (weather permitting). Limited seating is available. Beer and wine will be available for card purchase only.
Atlanta Contemporary is located at 535 Means Street, Atlanta, GA 30318.
Parking is free in the lot at Bankhead & Means Street (Google Maps Location). You can access the lot via Bankhead Avenue and proceed past the parking attendant booth.
About Artist:
Klimchak is a composer known for his use of electronics & homebuilt instruments. His work has been seen in dance, theater & solo performances around the world. In 2011, he was given a grant by Idea Capital to make a series of compositions for home-built percussion instruments with lights incorporated in them. They were performed in 2012/2013 as flash percussion performances, titled Klimchak’s Lebeato Lounge. In March, 2015, Klimchak premiered his solo show, CooksNotes, in which he makes music on kitchen implements while cooking dinner for the audience.
Klimchak regularly performs solo shows featuring the Don Buchla designed Marimba Lumina. Only about 100 of this very rare instrument were made. With the Marimba Lumina the percussionist is able to perform live music that would normally take at least 4 musicians. His multi-instrumental compositions are played with 4 separate mallets, six foot pedals and a breath controller. As added touches, his sets usually include 4 or 5 small percussion instruments, some chanting or tuvan throat singing and at least one solo on the theremin.

Tim Youd Performance: 100 Novels | West Midtown
During Open Hours: Thursday & Friday 11:00AM-8:00PM | Saturday & Sunday 11:00AM-6:00PM
535 Means St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
About Event:
Event Description
Join Tim Youd as he performs a retyping of Flannery O'Connor's _______ as part of Youd's 100 Novels Performance Series. In these performances, his focus is on the physical act of reading taken to the extreme point of retyping a full-length novel; always using the same make and model typewriter originally used by the author and in a location significant to each novel. This method transcends mere replication, evolving into a profoundly immersive mark-making practice akin to drawing.
Exhibition Duration: Oct 3, 2024 - Oct 6, 2024
