Tony Conrad at Tate Modern
This weekend Tony Conrad will appear at the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern. His performance features an amplified string quartet, electric drill and motors, alternative film production processes, film projection, and clouds of looming shadows. It is specially conceived for the Turbine Hall by vanguard American musician/composer, filmmaker, video artist and writer, Tony Conrad.
Known for his groundbreaking film The Flicker, his involvement in the Theatre of Eternal Music and the evolution of the Velvet Underground, and collaborations with a host of luminaries including Jack Smith, Mike Kelley and Henry Flynt, Conrad remains a radical figure who challenges cultural conventions.
From 13-15 June, this special weekend at Tate Modern also features screenings of Conrad’s film and video work.
