Collections – Music Box Variations III
Date: December 14, 2024 @ 4:00
The California Building, Studio 212
2205 California Street NE
Minneapolis, MN 55418
The Music Box Variations project launched during a series of solo keyboard performances at Homewood Studios in Minneapolis in 2019. For Music Box Variations III, Craig Harris will talk about and play original music based on his large collection of music boxes and miniature pianos that began in the 1960s. The collection includes little carved wood pianos, glass and porcelain pianos, little modern piano sculptures, toy pianos, and miniature music boxes. Several pieces from the collection will be on exhibit and will be integrated into a multimedia exhibition and performance/presentation. This event frames an exploration of our human drive to collect, and launches a series of events, conversations, and opportunities to share what is meaningful in our lives.

About Interference Arts
Interference Arts employs music, multimedia performance and installation, arts-based community development, and future visioning research to promote healthy individuals and vital, sustainable communities. We are built on the foundation that the arts play an important role in addressing human challenges and breaking down traditional barriers to communication and problem solving. Interference Arts applies the concept “interference” as a paradigm representing the way the company employs the arts to engage with the world – interfering with energy and action to make change – like a canoe paddle coming into contact with the water, or like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing something to happen on the other side of the planet.
