Screening: Films by Dicky Bahto

Artist Dicky Bahto will make his first appearance in Albuquerque, with a program featuring an excerpt from his recent three-hour long collaboration with musician Sarah Davachi, Music for a Bellowing Room, an exercise in resolution, inviting the audience to shift their concentration and perception through gradual changes in sound and image. The piece was originally commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and received its premiere performance in September 2023. (note that this will be a different excerpt from the one he is showing in Santa Fe on October 17th). Other works to be announced.

Dicky Bahto has exhibited work utilizing still and motion picture photography, sound, and performance at a variety of museums, galleries, microcinemas, film festivals, conferences, alternative spaces, and scenic locations spanning the Northern Hemisphere, from the Museum of Modern Art in New York to a series of nooks, crannies, and underbrush along and under Sunset Boulevard. He frequently collaborates with musicians, both as a performer and as a visual artist, including Sarah Davachi, Liz Harris, Julia Holter, and Tashi Wada, as well as with his lover, Patrick Londen, and their cats Simone and Katoosh.
