Outpost Artists Resources is a non-profit arts organization located in Ridgewood, Queens. We have been serving the arts community since 1990 providing access to video, sound services and new media assistance at well below market rates. In 2003, we began the Cuts and Burns Residency Program, which provides artists with free access to our facility including personal assistance by our staff of video editors, audio engineers, and computer programmers
Outpost Artists Resources supports new creative work through its residencies, and events – its mission is to serve artists in need of technical assistance with video, audio, and physical computing based art projects and to foster a dialogue between visual art and experimental music. Outpost hosts gallery exhibitions, artists talks, screenings and events that pair visual art, video, experimental music, and performance in an effort to bring adventurous audiences challenging interdisciplinary projects.
FIRE OVER HEAVEN 10/17/24: HENRY FRASER & SELENDIS SEBASTIAN ALEXANDER JOHNSON
Newsletter Signup
Fire Over Heaven begins a new season on October 17th, with a fantastic “double solo” bill of Henry Fraser and Selendis Sebastian Alexander Johnson. One of the best double bassists presently working in the city, Fraser’s deep tone and sensitive instincts as an improviser have made him an in demand collaborator with everyone from Isabel Crespo Pardo’s sinonó to Sam Weinberg to Ka Baird and low end theorists Nepenthae. He’ll be celebrating the release of a new solo record with the help of another fantastic soloist, vibraphonist/trombonist/conceptualist Sebastian Selendis Alexander Johnson. Frequently a leader of large ensembles that mine the political histories and potentialities of the big band format from a distinctly present tense perspective, Johnson’s solo performances are like intimate distillations of the same concepts. No less impressive for their dynamic range and unexpected shifts, as explosions of trombone or mallet percussion may turn on a dime to give way to the voice or scraps of audio played from her phone at any moment. Please join us as we start a new season. We’ll be continuing with our monthly third Thursdays calendar with a great series of shows co-organized by Lesley Mok, Che Chen and Ian Douglas-Moore.
