Pendu is an art gallery without a rigid manifesto or narrow ideology; a truly relativist, pluralist, experimental, and inclusive curatorial project. PENDU GALLERY also releases recordings of weird, frenetic, and uniquely fucked musics through PENDU SOUND RECORDINGS."

11/12/2006 Hey everyone, It's been a few months since I last posted an update and I certainly have a lot to say. This past Thursday, the Cabinet of Natural Curiosities played an amazing show at The Lab in Missoula, Montana, with Jason Anderson and Travis Sehorn, definitely one of my favorite shows ever. I was joined by Nathan Purrbot on piano, Scott Kennedy on electric slide guitar, Brandon Shimoda on poems, and Andy Smetanka on saw. The show was packed full of awesome people and I can't even believe how good we were (being bashful and modest here, of course!) The Missoula Independent wrote an article about the Cabinet of Natural Curiosities here. Over the past few months, I've really been enjoying the Collective Voice radio broadcast and podcast out of St. John's, Newfoundland. Anyone into noise/experimental/avant-garde/folk-ish music should check it out. I have a song on their November 9th podcast, along with tracks from Excepter, Gang Wizard, Axolotl, No-Neck Blues Band, Quintron + Miss Pussycat, and others. Download and listen! In poem news, I have two poems up on elimae and a poem coming out in the next issue of 32 Poems Magazine, a small pantoum that I wrote in Matthew Zapruder's class last fall. So excited! And in art news, my illustrations will be in a group show at Dauphine's in Missoula. Jasmine Dreame Wagner on Artnews. And to end on a big note, this winter, I'll be in Kenya and either Ethiopia and/or Tanzania thanks to a generous series of travel awards granted by my university's Dean, Provost and Vice President of Research and Development. I placed in the top-10 finalists in the Summer Literary Seminars Kenya Poetry Contest and received a nice tuition deduction as an award, then my writing program and the English department helped me apply for the rest. I'm so excited I can hardly sleep, though I have to admit that the yellow fever shots and malaria pills aren't terribly enthralling. Anything to make the trip, though, I'm still in a state of disbelief, even though I've already gotten my plane ticket! That's about all my news for now, it's been a good but hectic autumn, let the snow fall! (Just not on the day that I fly!) Keep in touch and take care, xoJasmine songsaboutghosts(at)hotmail.com |
