About Music Box Variations III:
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.
Here is a performance of Music Box Variations II, performed at the November 2019 concert.
About Collections:
Collections explores the source and meaning of what we collect as humans in a multimedia convergence of elements: text, projected imagery, music, interactive installation and exhibition, and community engagement. We collect objects, memories, stories, values, people. Our “collections” root us in our daily lives and our personal and cultural histories; they provide us with a foundation that frames how we engage with the world and guide our path; and they serve as a springboard to facilitate an impact that we could have on our communities and perhaps into the future beyond our passing.
About Seeding Gatherings:
Interference Arts creates “seeding gatherings” as a way of engaging with our community as we gather materials and content that are integrated into future performances and exhibitions. We invite people to enter the project development process, explore the themes of the project, and share their experiences.
For the Music Box Variations III seeding gathering we invite people to bring an example of something that they or their family collects, and to share their stories about its meaning and impact in their lives.
