"Friday night performance is world premiere of a multi-media presentation which highlights the works of Romare Bearden through modern digital media techniques and DJ culture’s “cut and paste” sonic palette. DJ Spooky will connect Bearden’s visual collage, the contemporary aesthetics of record collecting- or, as hip hop calls it “diggin’ in the crates”- and the exhibition Impressions & Improvisations: The Prints of Romare Bearden. He will have hip hop music as well as a string quartet."
