Jacob Wick: Swarm
Visiting Artist
Performance at 7 p.m.

Jacob Wick: SwarmComposer, improviser, and video artist Jacob Wick is visiting Jackson as a part of his performance/project to entitled ROAD TRIP: drawing a perimeter of the united states. ROAD TRIP consists of a series of performances, residencies, and collaborative efforts, including the repetition of a series of open-scored performances: THIS IS IT, an open text-based performance piece; 4’33,” John Cage’s seminal piece, reinterpreted as a community video performance; road trip: a solitary action to be undertaken by Wick, re-drawing the route of ROAD TRIP every single day; and swarm, a solo performance for trumpet. ROAD TRIP will be thoroughly documented online, in the hope that this may serve as a sort of library, a resource for artists, musicians, and the general public to learn about the various local artistic communities existing in our united states.

In Jackson, Wick will be performing swarm, a solo trumpet piece, which focuses on the aggregation of small, uncontrollable sounds produced by reducing the trumpet to its constituent parts: air, metal, spit, song.

Sarah Greene Reed - Survey"Recently, I have become fascinated with the notion of beauty. In these turbulent times, I feel that people need beauty now more than ever. I wrestled for years with the guilt of making pretty art; now, I am allowing myself to make unapologetically beautiful work."
