Pressed for Time: Morton Feldman's Second String Quartet
| 13 Aug 2014 | 04:01
April 11, 110 Livingston St. (betw. Court St. & Boerum Pl.), Brooklyn, 718-330-0313; 11:30 a.m., Free.
This performance of Morton Feldmans hella long masterwork belongs with Becketts Coast of Utopia and Fassbinders Berlin Alexanderplatzperformances as endurance sports. Feldmans work, performed by Ne(x)tworks, is hard to follow and seemingly stochastic. But if you become bored, let your eyes wander along the faded paint and crackling interior of 110 Livingston before it gets renovated and fully opened as ISSUE Project Rooms new home.
Bottom Line: Sit, squirm, listen for six hours. Brag to your friends for the rest of your life.
