Kyrgyzstan, B'way, Bushwick

Busy Fridaynight;went to a talk for PS1Radio by a curator from Kyrgyzstan at The Lower Manhatthan Cultural Centre ( Wallstreet). I have this CD with overtoonsinging/mouthharp music from Kyrgyzstan and it's been my favorite CD from the last 2 years. So I was curious about the art scene in Kyrgyzstan. (Who isn't!)
Kyrgyzstan is very, very remote, rural and empty. It's a crazy idea to me. Anyway the lady, who's invited to NY by the Swiss (http://www.swisscoop.kg/) Didn't showed anything and was a little mysterious. (little suspicious to me..) I can't really remember much from the whole talk, actually. Later I had a little chat with here and showed here this clip, from my favorite Kyrgyzstan-band; She had never heard of them! (I don't want to give the impression I know the Kyrgyzstan arts scene better then this lady, but..well)

(correction, I was all wrong; Read the comment below by the real expert Mark van Tongeren; )

Went to the Emily Harvey Foundation where my friend Joao organizes several events this month .
Tonight one of them was this by Alison Knowles. People taken from the audience had to sing together a different song. Then, they all tried to jump up in the air at the same time.
Always a great time with the fluxus spirit & people!

After that we (3) went to Bushwick at a new club called Bushwick Starr.I think my first time in this park of Brooklyn. Great place, cheap drinks , nice people; a cute girl asked mefor a dance .Quite some people smoking inside! ( obama? people not scared anymore??). Met 2 people from Amsterdam I know. Crazy how many people I walk into every time.
