Guitarist and composer David Grubbs has collaborated with artist Anthony McCall on numerous projects over the past fifteen years. For this performance, Grubbs will be situated within McCall’s exhibition at MAAT, deepening its experience with a live soundtrack as the ambulatory audience explores McCall’s solid light artworks from a mobile perspective. McCall and Grubbs together created the performance series Four Simultaneous Soloists for the 2018 exhibition Anthony McCall: Solid Light Works at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, New York. For this special event at MAAT, Grubbs again explores the theme of simultaneous soloists: in this case, the two soloists are his musical contribution and McCall’s solid light compositions.

David Grubbs is Distinguished Professor of Music at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center, CUNY. His many books include Records Ruin the Landscape: John Cage, the Sixties, and Sound Recording, and he has released fifteen solo albums. Grubbs was a member of the groups Gastr del Sol, Bastro, and Squirrel Bait, and has performed with Tony Conrad, Pauline Oliveros, Luc Ferrari, Will Oldham, the Red Krayola, and many others. He is known for his cross-disciplinary collaborations with poet Susan Howe and visual artists Anthony McCall, Angela Bulloch, and Josiah McElheny.
