Alec Soth & Dave King: The Palms
Exclusive preview livestream performance, commissioned by The Great Northern Festival, with support from Weinstein Hammons Gallery, Dr. Tom von Sternberg and Eve Parker.
The sound of a slide dropping into a projector’s carousel, the smell of a photo album being opened for the first time in decades: there’s a physicality to memory that’s largely lost in the digital age.
First-time collaborators, renowned photographer Alec Soth ("celebrated chronicler of contemporary American life" — The Guardian) and drummer/composer Dave King ("better than anyone at mixing the sensibilities of post-'60s jazz and indie rock" — The New York Times) explore these sensations in The Palms, an improvisatory rummaging in the attic of memory.
Broadcast in HD video with stereo sound — from one of the best live music rooms in the Twin Cities.
