Nick Yeck-Stauffer & Neil Moore

Nick Yeck-Stauffer is a midwestern surrealist and multi-instrumentalist, notably playing trumpet in outsider electronic music context since the late 00's. In the past decade he has put together a body of work with his own project Signal Decay and collaborating on record with his friends Landon Caldwell, Crazy Doberman, John Daniel/Forest Management, and others.

Neil Moore makes music to bask in – to cleanse your ear canals after the daily barrage of violent frequencies. Following in the sonic traditions of ambient forefathers such as Iasos, Stephen Halpern and Laraaji, Moore connects sounds both virtual and natural with the direct and simple goal of pleasing the senses.

Julie Beth Napolin/Lianne Smith

Album release party for Julie Beth Napolin’s Only the Void Stands Between Us, out November 29 on Silver Current Records.

Julie is a songwriter, author and teacher based in the Hudson Valley. She’ll be performing as a duo with Bob Bannister. “This is cosmic folk of the highest caliber. Julie’s vocal melodies grow in your mind like they were planted on the shortest day of the year. An absolute treat for all of us temporal adventurers.” ~ Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance).

Opening the show is Brooklyn-based songwriter, Lianne Smith. Originally from Minneapolis, Lianne made her move east in the late 80s. "I write songs about standing in the middle of the road and wondering which way to go, about how others cheat us and how we cheat ourselves, about free-wheeling, bicycle riding, look-ma-no-hands exhilarations, and how it feels to say goodbye to summer."

The Square We Inhabit: Opening

The Square We Inhabit: Opening

Since August 2022, the square of Exarcheia, the flagship district of resistance and solidarity movements in Athens, has been barricaded with high metal barriers and surveilled by dozens of police officers on a 24-hour basis. The government plans for a new metro station on the square have turned it into an abandoned area, but also reinvented it from scratch. Seven photographers document the unshakeable determination of people to defend the neighborhood’s only square and its trees.

Their work was first presented in January 2024 in a collective exhibition just next to the fenced site.

The people of the 21st century will be remembered as the ones defending public spaces, both material and imaginary:
Where does memory and lived experience settle, when the physical space from which they stem disappears? How can the function of the city be maintained, when its building blocks are being destroyed, when the dreams collectively realized in its emblematic sites are lost?

For every new fence, a new Square will be born. Exarcheia Square is us.
