Clark Art Presents Performance By Luke Fischbeck

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, Jan. 31 at 6 pm, the Clark Art Institute presents an original musical performance by Luke Fischbeck inspired by special exhibition Raffaella della Olga: Typescripts. 
 
The performance takes place in the Manton Research Center auditorium.
 
Raffaella della Olga considers her practice of typewriter art in musical terms, with the machine itself as an instrument and the resulting works as graphic scores. In this program, Williams College lecturer Luke Fischbeck, of the collaborative sound art group lucky dragons, performs two works inspired by della Olga’s practice: a solo piano composition by Parisian composer Alexandra Grimal, Typewriter #2, for Piano, and his own live mix of an electronic sound piece based on recordings made on the Clark campus.
 
Raffaella della Olga:Typescripts is on view through May 31, 2026 in the Eugene V. Thaw Gallery for Works on Paper in the Manton Research Center.
 
Tickets $10 ($8 members, $7 college students, $5 children 17 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. For tickets, visit events.clarkart.edu.
