New Composers Series: Sound in Changing Context
Organized by Charlie Morrow and Michael Schumacher
The New Composers Series brings sound and music to White Box in celebration of the art world's role in fostering groundbreaking sound art and music. Since at least the 1920s, new music while shunned at concert venues was embraced by forward thinking art patrons. As a result, composers began rethinking the relationship between sound and space.
During 2007 White Box's space will be reconfigured for every event in the Series according to each artist's specifications. Style, content, gesture and form will create and be determined by context. The New Composers Series
is produced by White Box with the collaboration of the Electronic Music Foundation and in association with Diapason Sound Art Gallery and New Wilderness Foundation Inc.
The New Composers Series has received generous support from the New York State Music Fund, established by the New York State Attorney General at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.

MaryBeth Edelson superimposes an event from the 70s with John Cage into the scores of music being created at White Box. This 70s event, was the annual recital of Gertrude Stein held at Paula Cooper’s gallery, in which pairs of readers alternatively read Stein aloud --on this occasion it was Edelson and Cage reading. Today, Edelson recreates this reading with Cage while moving into indiscriminate invitations to the audience to take over the performance.
