On Saturday, November 17, Deadtech will be opening a show of work by Jeremy Boyle. The gallery installation features one of his recent circular-screen rotating-image video projects as well as a pair of self-playing instruments. Using meticulous craftsmanship to execute his elegantly conceptual ideas, Boyle’s work concerns automation, sound and mechanical thresholds. During the opening, Boyle and guitarist Todd Mattei will accompany the self-playing instruments for an improvised musical performance. The show opens at 8:00 pm, the performance starts at 9:30.
