Franklin Presents: On the Road with Dark Dark Dark

Music and Closing Event

Thursday October 29, 2009 at 8pm

In the spirit of Fischer’s interest in travel and the mythological American road trip, local chamber-folk band Dark Dark Dark will give a special performance, interlaced with their stories of floating down the Mississippi river on homemade rafts, discussions of special projects (see below), and projected images of life on the road.

In the last several years, Dark Dark Dark have become known as one of Minneapolis’ most talented musical acts, while simultaneously embarking on journeys across the country to play music and participate in exhibitions and collaborative projects, exchanging stability for a life of travel and adventure on the road.
Debuting Franklin’s new program of live events, Franklin Presents, band members Nona Marie Invie, Marshall LaCount, and Jonathan Kaiser will discuss their participation in Swimming Cities, an art boat project originating in Brooklyn, an upcoming film entitled Flood in which they are the featured subjects, participation in major exhibitions (at MassMoCA and the Van AbbeMuseum, the Netherlands), and collaborations with artists SWOON, Jay Heikes, Tim Piotrowski, Tod Seelie, Christian Rex VanMinnen, and filmmaker Bill Daniel.

For this closing event, Dark Dark Dark will perform amid the sculptural environment created by Fisher for Few Landmarks and No Boundaries, once more bringing the space alive with live music and stories of restlessness and adventure in celebration of the exhibition’s closing.

Opening band tête-à-tête. Suggested $5 donation.
