Here's the deal, straight from the, err, goat's mouth:
A veritable orgy of artistic fertility, the OPEN GOAT welcomes all comers to take part in a fully democratic, spontaneous, feverish and potentially life-altering collective improvisation.
The
set-up is both simple and beautiful. Hordes of musicians and non-musicians playing acoustic instruments,
household items, or specially constructed noise-objects will fill the main gallery
space.
The aim is to jam one hour (or potentially longer) of pure improvisation, just for the sick ear-pleasure of finding out what happens.
Artists will free-paint, free-draw or free-whatever they want on empty canvasses lining the gallery walls. Performers of all descriptions are welcome to take part - poets, dancers, writers - the GOAT wants you. The GOAT needs you.
Come and shout something rude at the GOAT and then leave. Why not?
The recording of the GOAT will be sent to electronic musicians in the city to be remixed and reworked. Participants will all receive digital copies.
There is no direction and very few rules. This is a journey into the unknown, an insane foray into the murky recesses of a collective consciousness.
This is a crazy experiment. Come take part! Do something different with your Saturday!
See? Sounds great doesn't it? The picture here is entirely unrelated to the event, it's just one of the first pictures that came up when I Google Imaged 'goat'. Just a little window into how I work there.
