Ari Benjamin Meyers and Modem featured on
BoingBoing



1/17/08

"One of things I didn't get to do when I was last in Berlin was visit Ari Benjamin Meyers' "Modem," a new music and art space he's building from an abandoned 23,000 square meter power and heating plant which once provided all the heat for East Berlin. A pity, too, because not only is it a huge industrial space (which I love), it's full of crazy Cold War-era knobs and dials stenciled with inscrutable German labels. (At least to monolingual me.)
On the plus side, it gives me yet another reason to go back to Berlin!" (Joel Johnson)

BECKMANN IN NEW YORK is performed by Detlef Bensmann in Cuba



October 6th 2007 Havana (Cuba) Teatro Amadeo Roldán,
XXII Festival de la Habana Música Contemporána in cooperation with the
Goethe Institute presents:
"Berlin - International Metropolis for Composing"

"The work 'Beckmann in New York' by the North-American composer Ari Benjamin Meyers (1972) confronted the Cuban audience with a new kind of elegy or dirge, one that was greatly strengthened by the artistry of the performer. Like in a dazzling kaleidescope, the composer conjures up images tied to the tragic fate of Max Backmann, whose work was labelled as degenerate by the Nazis and who died in 1950 in a snow storm in Manhattan. This work by Meyers is transformed by the playing of Bensamnn into a piece in the defence of all human dignity."
-Pedro de la Hoz, Granma Internacional
