LINGUA FRANCA is a concert of music that asks musical artists from a wide variety of genres, styles, and traditions to consider their relationship to pop music. Batya Macadam-Somer will weave her violin and voice together, presenting an improvised set inspired by songs from some of her favorite pop artists. Dom Cooper will perform recents works for voice, prepared tape, piano, and electronics. Sound artist Joe Cantrell will create soundscapes based on recorded vocal content including a reading of “The Winter of Ending," a poem by his mother, Anita Van Tellingen.

Just as the definition of bebop describes music of complex harmony and rhythms, the artists for "What Lives in the Space Between Points" are at times very complex in their perspectives of the world. While St. Celfer explores the microcosm and macrocosm (as above so below and as within so without) pondering what things might be eluding us in ways we have not considered, Luke Gumaelius' keen academic mind considers patterns in biological and cultural existence. In contrast, Robin and John Gumaelius utilize expert ceramicist skill to create fantastical creatures both biological and imaginary. The four artists meet in the realm of concept. What can't we hear? What can't we see? And what is our mind capable of imagining? At this show you will enjoy: • Compelling, high quality art for sale in a variety of price points ($65 - $3,200) • Special late-night Events of improvisational electronica • Hands on art and music for children and adults • Live art-making and performance • Closing DJ set by local favorite Donald Glaude Date | Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from March 25 through April 17 Location | The Brokers Building Art Gallery Board Get tickets here! General Admission: $5 Special Events: $25 This show includes an Augmented Reality (AR) experience for attendees.

DISCO RIOT is a local innovative dance company, focused on collaborative, movement-based art. Throughout the past two years of the pandemic, Disco Riot has created some beautiful dance films and projects, like the "Move American" series of short films about voting issues, or "A Year of Distance." I also recently watched the company add choreography to contemporary artist Ana de Alvear's hyperrealistic drawings at the San Diego Museum of Art. Disco Riot returns to SDMA for a new SDMA+ project, reflecting on Cauleen Smith's contemporary video work — which is itself a work inspired by an early 1600s masterpiece in the museum's collection, Juan Sánchez Cotán’s "Still Life with Quince, Cabbage, Melon, and Cucumber." RELATED: A Not-So Still Life: Cauleen Smith At SDMA The short performances are free with museum admission, and take place in the museum's rotunda. Smith's installation is still on view at SDMA. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS (from San Diego weekend arts preview) From the museum: Friday, April 1 at 3:30 and 4:00 p.m. Free with Museum admission. The modern dancers of DISCO RIOT explore the Art of the Americas through movement and physical expression in this special live performance inspired by Cauleen Smith’s video installation “Flori Canta”. These seven-minute performance sets will take place in the Museum rotunda at 3:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. Performance date and times are subject to change.
