Dear Friends, I am happy to announce "Translation of Sightseeing," a live video and sound performance by two Japanese "tourists," Yuko Nexus6 Kitamura and Mariko Tajiri, that explores the inevitable gaps, delusions, gaga thoughts, postcards, and stereotypes experienced by travelers in foreign places. 9:00 p.m., Saturday, February 5 Heaven Gallery, 1550 N. Milwaukee Ave., 2nd floor Tel: 773-342-4597 Web: www.heavengallery.com <http://www.heavengallery.com> Admission: $6 Yuko Nexus6 is a prolific and internationally recognized sound artist who embraces both hi-tech (laptop) and lo-tech (cassette) sound-making methods. Her compelling mixtures of field recordings, electronic music, and spoken text range from cinematic and sublime, to mischievous and childlike. She has been the subject of numerous interviews and citations, most recently in David Toop's historical survey of electronic music, Haunted Weather. Her third solo album, Journal de Tokyo (Sonore Records) <http://www.sonore.com/record_label/index.htm> received an Honorable Mention for Digital Musics in the 2003 Prix Ars Electronica. Mariko Tajiri is a visual artist specializing in installation and video art. A recipient of a Philip Morris Art Award in 2000 and 2004, Mariko lives in Kobe and has shown widely in Japan and Europe. Translation of Sightseeing is one stop in Yuko's and Mariko's North American <http://www02.so-net.ne.jp/%7Enexus6/LiveInformation.html> tour.
