On today's show, I talk to artist and musician C. Spencer Yeh.
Originally from Taiwan, Spencer's family moved to Canada when he
was young, and later, Spencer grew up in the Rust Belt. As a
musician, Spencer has released over twenty albums on numerous
labels, many under the name Burning Star Core, and a number of
improvisational collaborations under his own name - including
collabos with everyone from saxophonist Paul Flaherty to
avant-garde filmmaker and composer Tony Conrad. As an artist, his work has been featured internationally at
the MoMA, the ICA Philadelphia, Kinomuzeum at the Museum of Modern
Art in Warsaw, the Liverpool Biennial, and in many other
exhibitions. Yeh also collaborated with Triple Canopy for
their contribution to the Whitney Biennial in 2014, and a
collection of voice-based works, Solo Voice I - X, will be
published by Primary Information this year.
