In Answer Machine Tape, 1987, composer Philip Venables combines the messages on the answering machine of American artist David Wojnarowicz with a ‘cyborg’ piano that doubles as a typing machine via sensors. The tape in question contains messages recorded in the days before the death of David's ex-partner, photographer Peter Hujar. They offer heartbreaking testimony and an intimate look at the New York art scene in the midst of the AIDS epidemic.
Zubin Kanga’s performance of Venables’ work is followed by a performance by Fleur Pierets.
