Modulating with TablaCentric At Machine Project

March 30th, 2008

TablaCentric

Have you ever heard Tabla music? Yes? No? Maybe? I first heard Tabla music while searching for new music online. I found a group called Tabla Beat Science and got their album Tala Matrix .

I was pleasantly surprised to find TablaCentric at Machine Project in Echo Park during our ritual Sunday breakfast in Echo Park/Silver Lake.

TablaCentric is a month long project around Tabla, the traditional drums of North India that includes performances, film screenings, lessons and more.

The project is facilitated by a fellow named Robin Sukhadia from the bay area. We had a chance to chat about Tabla and to catch him play for us for a minute or two.

If you have a chance this week stop by and check it out. There are performances on Monday March 31st at 7pm and a Robot will be playing Tabla Thur April 3rd.

Panopti(con), a group exhibition curated by Los Angeles based artist Martin Durazo. This exhibition presents the work of 17 artists working in painting, photography, drawing, sculpture and video that engage in theories centered around power structures. Panoticon, from the Greek words for “all” and “sight,” refers to the ingenious late 18th and early 19th century architectural construction British philosopher Jeremy Bentham devised that became the ultimate surveillance machine (and ideal prison). Designed as a large circular building with a watch tower in the center, the Panopticon allowed the observer to observe at all times without being seen, creating the most invisible omniscient authority.

Since its inception in 2003, Bank has developed a distinctive curatorial platform
showcasing emerging and mid career artists working in all media. Located in downtown Los Angeles,
the gallery exhibits both national and international artists striving to make a significant contribution
to contemporary art.
