On the one hand, there are two count 'em two listings for this show in the This Week in Avant Garde Cinema calendar. On the other, those mailings sometimes go out on Sundays and it's easy to miss a same-day screening.
If you're in the Bay Area this weekend do consider attending this Shapeshifters show with Keith Evans and the Long Tone Choir. Some may remember Keith from his work as a member of the Silt film collective. This show is part of a series of events he's curated under the umbrella "Ambient Dew Point" which included a gallery show in San Jose https://www.facebook.com/events/art-ark-gallery/ambient-dew-point-curated-by-keith-evans/504608270063388/ and a recent screening at the Roxie in San Francisco, co-curated with Mark Wilson and sponsored by Canyon Cinema ( http://www.canyoncinema50.org/events/df93df57-8c76-4b46-b16c). Full disclosure: I will be performing in a quintet version of the Long Tone Choir with Nina Bayley, Rae Diamond, Joe Kuta, and Suki O'Kane. *Shapeshifters Cinema presents… Keith Evans with Rae Diamond’s Long Tone Choir Sunday, April 14, 2019 Doors open at 7:30pm, Showtime at 8:00pm Temescal Art Center 511 48th St. (@ Telegraph Ave) Oakland, CA 94609 * Admission is free but donations are greatly appreciated. “In dehydration melts” is a collaborative water augury featuring the para-cinema of *Keith Evans* and the vocal dilations of *Rae Diamond’s Long Tone Choir.* Drawing attention to our interconnection with Earth patterns and energies, “In dehydration melts" is a performance and an object, an instrument of equivocal data displaying sounds and liminal images of the transition zone between experience and meaning. Bodies, gestures, field notes, screens, walls, and the aggregate equipment are elements in a schematic and an ephemeral architecture that is evocative of the elastic and transformational forces unfolding an awareness of time. This expansive new work of compressed artifacts and obsolescences will congregate in the heat around the phoneme + phone + phonograph + phonological as utterances idiosyncratically decay through the apparatus contributing to an animate cinema system performed in our minds and in our presence. *Shapeshifters Cinema* is a monthly expanded cinema series featuring experimental filmmakers and video artists presenting moving image work live with accompaniment from musicians, sound artists and artists from other creative disciplines. Shapeshifters takes place the second Sunday of every month, from 8 to 9pm (unless otherwise noted) at Temescal Art Center in North Oakland. Shapeshifters is curated by Kathleen Quillian and Gilbert Guerrero. Support for Shapeshifters Cinema is provided by the Zellerbach Family Foundation, San Francisco Cinematheque and individual donors. *Shapeshifters web site*: http://www.shapeshifterscinema.com *Facebook event page*: https://www.facebook.com/events/1076826802502472/
