From Galveston Artist Residency:
“Métro Boulot Dodo is a performance in four movements sonically exploring the evolution of work and labor from nature to industry, into its present form. Borrowing from the French expression, the title makes reference to the dominating presence of work in our lives and its prioritization in the United States as the country pursues its shift from a collective experience, to the hyper individualistic. In investigating the changing soundscape, the work aims to collectively imagine what the future can hold as we begin the shift into a more techno driven future.
Anthony Almendárez is an artist and composer who uses sound as a point of departure to explore modes of storytelling that reorders, remixes, and plays with the intersection between art, literature, and music. His work has been presented nationally and internationally including at the Cité International des Arts, Paris, France, the Banff Centre for the Arts, Alberta, Canada; CIRCA, London, UK; and Seen:Sound Visual/Music, Melbourne, Australia. He received his BA from California State University, Dominguez Hills; MA from Marshall University; and the MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College.”
