Jakob Ullmann Solo I/Solo IV Tony Conrad The Flicker

Ten Years Alive closes at Weld with the simultaneous performance by Rebecca Lane and Jon Heilbron of two solo works by German composer Jakob Ullmann. Often at the threshold of audibility yet thrumming with a vibrancy and exquisite tension Jakob Ullmanns work is unique in contemporary compositional practice.

This is paired with two 16mm film works by Tony Conrad &mdash his legendary but all-too-rarely seen structuralist classic The Flicker and a shorter later flicker film Straight and Narrow (made in collaboration with his then wife Beverly Conrad).
