Live - An intimate video study of the art of performing
» Jarvis Cocker change of venue - November 23, 2009
Live is an innovative and captivating video installation that features more than 20 of the world’s leading musicians captured performing live on film.
This visually stunning installation is presented with each artist performing a song of their choice, shot in exactly the same fashion, projected side by side. Visitors to this intimate video study can choose which artist to listen to. Four projectors will deliver content to four large screens with high fidelity sound heard through wireless headphones.
By stripping away the stage, lights and band, video artist Jasmin Tarasin brings the often over-looked intricate physical gestures of the performer to the forefront, bringing the physical gap between rock star and audience to give a profound larger-than-life intimate front row experience.
Featured artists include Jarvis Cocker, Peaches, Warren Ellis, Feist, Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Juliette Lewis, Kim Salmon, Róisín Murphy, Sarah Blasko, Gareth Liddiard (The Drones), Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Lisa Kekeula (The Bellrays), Jimmie Little, Ron Peno, Dan Kelly, Laura Jean, Clare Bowditch, Julian Hamilton (Presets), and Kram.
