Serial Space Presents:

Tuesday, 5 October, 2010
7:00 pmto10:00 pm

Kim Kerze - drawing. Jim Denley - prepared sax and electronics

Jim Denley (saxophone) and Kim Kerze (drawing) have been performing together for a number of years.

Jim uses saxophone and electronics, Kim various charcoals, (some just burnt branches) and paper. Both produce sound.

This is an improvisation coupling the sonic and visual properties of gesture. There is a feedback loop between the music and the evolving drawing, it becomes a graphic score for subsequent layers of interaction and… a memoir of previous sonic/graphic events.

This layering over time, means the performance is necessarily long. The performance at Serial Space on October the 5th will start at 7pm and go till 10pm. You can stay for the whole event, but feel free also to come and go quietly at will.

A Polymorphic creative individual, with a background in the Visual Arts, Kim has always been concerned with the primacy of the gesture as a means of expression, and the found object as an displaced artefact of commercial commodifaction - whether it be in drawing, installation, poetry or music. He has exhibited in Tasmania, Melbourne, and Alice Springs, and his poetry has been included in Blue Dog and unusual work. As a musician he has performed on sporadic occasions in Melbourne, and Hobart.

An emphasis on spontaneity, site-specific work and collaboration has been central to Jim’s work. He sees no clear distinctions between his roles as instrumentalist, improviser and composer. This year he has performed in Tasmania, Texas, Perth, Canada, and Melbourne. In mid October he tours the West Coast of America and November to Scandinavia.
