Bonnie Banks uses drawings, videos, costumes, sets, sculptures and music to conjure imagined worlds without temporal or spatial constraints. These works are frequently used as inspiration and blueprint for collaborative endeavors.
For this residency, Bonnie Banks has organized a series of performances and a visual arts exhibition showcasing several of his ongoing collaborative projects including the concept art bands Rubber ((0) Cement and Scummerai, along with Brutal Sound Effects and Godwaffle Noise Pancakes: two reccurring series that provide a platform for the experimental noise community.
Rubber ((0) Cement is an interpretation for a super science future mirroring the way primitive cultures use cargo cults to emulate technology. Technological breakthroughs are realized in a zero-tech way by showing the unrealized “next step into the future” with the actual vision existing in the present. All props and sets are made out of waste. The sound mixes experimental jazz with some homemade electronics.
Scummerai’s set is a giant on-shore oil drilling rig with operating cranes that spits out punch cards to make percussive sounds throughout the live act.
