Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts and Front Porch Productions are pleased
to announce Celebrating Tony Conrad, a two-day online streaming festival
that honors and highlights the late artist’s collaborations with musicians
and performers from around the world. In the five years since Conrad
passed, his work has expanded, with both the documentary by Tyler Hubby
Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present from 2016 and the exhibition
Introducing Tony Conrad: A Retrospective that originated in Buffalo at the
Albright-Knox Art Gallery and UB Art Galleries in 2018. As a pioneer of
both drone music and structural film, Conrad is arguably one of the most
important artists in regard to sound art and experimental music. Bemis
Center and Front Porch Productions asked a variety of artists to think
about him, his work, their work together and present a video piece as a
tribute to him. This festival is a way to keep Conrad’s legacy alive while
showcasing artists who introduced us to Conrad as a musician, artists he
collaborated with, and friends that he inspired during his life.

Performers live in the United States, Japan, and in various European cities
and include Tony Billoni, MV Carbon, Angharad Davies, Arnold Dreyblatt,
David Grubbs, Keiji Haino with Ted Conrad’s visuals, Lary 7, Jim O’Rourke,
Charlemagne Palestine, Jean-Hervé Péron of faUSt, Jennifer Walshe, and C.
Spencer Yeh. The program will be introduced by Rachel Adams, Bemis Center
Chief Curator and Director of Programs, who co-curated Introducing Tony
Conrad: A Retrospective.
