These collected tracks represent the sonic component of the "Now Wave – Glowing" exhibition by Beth B in collaboration with Jim Coleman. This exhibition runs from August 15th - August 25th, 2024, at Silent Green in Berlin, and includes several live performances. The CD of these tracks will be included in the exhibition catalog.
Coleman collaborated with a stellar group of musicians and artists: Annie Bandez (Little Annie), Robert O. Leaver (This Wilderness, Birdthrower), Phil Puleo (Swans, Cop Shoot Cop), Jared Louche, Kirsten McCord, Paul Wallfisch, Vincent Dubuis, Nick Flynn, Evelyn Frantti, No Anger, Louise Hoffmeister and Bliss Blood.
The fusion of text, music, filmic image material, and performance create an immersive experience that is captivating and entertaining, but also confronts existential questions of human coexistence. The universal stories of artists Nick Flynn, Little Annie, No Anger, Vincent Dubuis, Robert O. Leaver, and Evelyn Frantti confront perceptions and assumptions concerning heartache, disability, mental illness, and addiction alongside the visceral music by Jim Coleman accompanied by the artists and other creatives such as Phil Puleo, Kirsten McCord, Jared Louche, Bliss Blood and Paul Wallfisch. Voicing the unheard and seeing the unseen are themes that have run through Beth B’s films, art, and installation work with an eye to creating dialogue, community, and a place for self-knowledge and acceptance.
Featured artists: Little Annie, this wilderness, Robert O. Leaver (Birdthrower), Jared Louche, Bliss Blood, Phil Puleo, Vincent Dubuis, Kirsten McCord, Paul allfisch, Nick Flynn, Evelyn Frantti, No Anger, Louise Hoffmeister
