Description

Charles Amirkhanian speaks with Lloyd Cross and Jerry Pethick, the cofounders of the School of Holography in San Francisco, about the art of holography. Also presented is the first broadcast performance of George Antheil's 1951 “Sonata” for flute and piano”. The last half of the show consists of Amirkhanian reading a communication from David Graham entitled "Logic, or If it works it's obsolete"; poems by Clark Coolidge and James Schuyler; and other works from the magazine “Gum, Issue 6”; as well as a piece on modern art by Allan Kaprow, all while music softly plays in the background.
