Nearly Not There... investigates the fluid occurrences and interactions happening between contemporary music, sound art and performance art.

Focussed on compositional though transient arrangement, this permutational exhibition will show a month long progression of the building, rebuilding, measuring, and calibration of its parts, enfolding performances, concerts, installation works, a seminar, light design, social interaction and a record shop.

Posing notions of sound, instrumentalism, performance and the concert setting merely as working hypotheses, Nearly Not There... creates and denounces divisions as they come, only to establish a transitionary environment acting on and because of itself, providing each gradation a space to function within.

Equally inspired by the musical, the visual and the spatial, it aims to expose emergent relationships within and between; visual art that sounds, performance art of tone and instrument, sound installations disguised as concerts, audience as performers, empty spaces full of sound.

Nearly Not There... is curated by Seamus Cater, Koen Nutters and Martijn Tellinga, and supported by STEIM, Red Light Radio, Sonic Acts and DNK-Amsterdam.

Nearly Not There... will include the first instance of a record shop specialising in many different streams of experimental music and sound art.
