What can I say? I'm a pack rat. These remnants are mostly from boxes and filing cabinets packed and stored serially in the garages of a string of homes and storage units for the last twenty-something years. Many are in better condition than I would have predicted, considering the means of production and non-archival nature of the materials used. At least most were easy to scan, not as much work to convert or as big as audio files....

Please do take advantage of the wiki nature of this site and feel free to edit this page. Correct errors grammatical, factual, or of omission; in many cases I have had to rely on memory to infer dates, so help there is especially appreciated. Also add sections of your own, or links to images of your better or variant copies and other related materials if you have them.

Mimesis[edit]

I've got a little bit of Mimesis stuff that's not connected to Neoteric Ensemble performances, just waiting to be scanned.

Tales of Power, April 1983
Poster, Tales of Power
D A Ayer
Screen print on poster board
22 x 28 inches
April 1983
© 1983 D A Ayer and Joseph Pinzarrone
Imagery came from photos Joe had from an earlier performance (1976 at the University of Deleware, as Joe explains). Both the maids in aprons and the bassoonist pope were hand-copied, cut out, and used as friskets over translucent vellum. Additional masking was done with rubber cement to create splatter text and the bassoon aura. The whole thing was then spray painted black to get the final image for phototransfer to a silk screen. Printing was a single impression using black and red inks together.
This copy is still in reasonable condition almost thirty years later because we reserved a few artist's proofs for posterity. Archival materials were not used, and the quality of the printing is laughable by NIU Art Department standards, but the job came in at the right price. I recall borrowing everything except the paper and photo emulsion, maybe the black ink.
At that point I was not a member of the ensemble, and still tend to think of this as my audition.

Cathy Church's Senior Recital makes the news....

Photo, Cathy Church Senior Recital
Newsprint
February 1984
© 1984 The Daily Chronicle
I was photographed performing in the scored demolition of an old player piano during this guest appearance of the ensemble at Cathy Church's Senior Recital. Speculation followed about the impact this photo had on the NIU School of Visual and Performing Arts' reputation and fundraising programs after concerned Daily Chronicle readers assumed we had destroyed school property. In fact, the piano had been liberated from an Illinois barn and had to be cleansed of layers of straw and bird droppings before making its final appearance.
Hat tip to Tim for getting permission to publish from the Chronicle and for having a much better memory than I about the preparations. He also furnished a copy of the poster and provided the image of the Chronicle's follow-up clarification.

Sung to the tune of Puttin' On the Ritz, Robert(O) Mendel's lyrics ushered in the ensemble's answer to an Orwellian year in which we anticipated a Presidential reelection and more misery for the state of education in America. Clearly most of us were not going to make a living in the "fine" arts, so why not go commercial at the outset?
Despite a DeKalb tradition of sacrificing cash for culture—a contemporary student show included artworks made out of corners ripped from real US currency—and thanks to the miracle of self-service plain-paper copying, no actual dollar bills were harmed!

One of the hallmarks of a sellout is merchandise available for sale in the lobby. The Indie approach of the day was to use analog cassettes since they were readily available and cheap. E X Rator had access to a high-speed dubbing deck so it was possible to make these quickly. Oddly enough I don't seem to have a copy of the actual audio tape and so I got wondering whether we ever really made any....
Thankfully, Tim had one!

Like the traditional Electric Pumpkin Patch, Selling Out was a distributed performance occupying as much of the NIU music building as the Ensemble could get access to and manage to "staff." One side-effect of the approach is that no one saw the entire performance, with the performers at least as in the dark as the audience. The Ministry of Culture was staffed by someone else, and in the end I'm pretty sure it had little to do with this early brainstorm based on Orwell's book.
Got memories? Please help flesh this out!

Saved more for its historical implications—Back Before Digital—this piece of paper reflects the painstaking nature of mid-80's authoring and copy methods. Few among us even had access to correcting typewriters, so when speed was needed, corrections were made in situ. Still legible, despite the ravages of time.

Becky would pick up a Star or National Enquirer issue now and then just to save for collage purpose. These were one-offs she then posted around the music building the week of an event. They seemed to escape the usual enforcement of the Student Association—posters were required to have an official SA stamp—by not being posters per se.
What was the event? Where was it happening? "Moose-lift continues" says it all.

In case you were wondering what the moose-lift was all about, this informative poster cleared everything right up.
This was the first of the pieces that evolved into the Elastic Theatre over the coming months. The idea was to create a improvisational symphony of actions chosen by the performers acting strictly alone, avoiding any pre-arranged interactions. Would "meaning" emerge?
Note this was back in the days when the cheap way to set type was by hand using rub-on transfers. It wasn't my strongest suit but the finish quality was better than that of my silk screens.

This program is from the Punto Cinco event which followed MOSFET by about three weeks. This was the first use of the Light Arc photosensitive instrument interface, which we married to a computer-controlled synthesizer—I recall Betsy Start was the synth technician and performer, but don't see an acknowledgement—and renamed the Elastic Theatre. The group experimented with various approaches to this situational performance method throughout the summer.

This poster for the Punto Cinco Elastic Theatre performance acknowledges funding from the Illinois Arts Council. It was an off-campus event attended largely by an NIU campus crowd.
There was a lot happening on Lincoln Highway in 1985. I may have the attributions wrong here, because sometimes the photos were taken by itinerant and not local talent. Please help me get it right!

One of the clear aesthetic markers of the ArtBus was its lack of any unifying aesthetic. This was not some neighbor-state, DOW Chemical sponsored, traveling tax write-off but maybe some sort of grassroots transportation agency. The more random the posters appeared, the larger the force that spawned them appeared to be....
There's no clear attribution on this one, so if the real artist would please stand up and edit this article it would be a great boon. (We think we know but we've been wrong before.)

This ArtBus poster riffed on the ///ArtTrain logos which were appearing everywhere in town. The very notion of the former Michigan ArtTrain as a corporation was repellant to starving students coming to grips with 1980's employment realities.
Again we are seeking an attribution and commentary from the original artist.

The ArtBus was a triumph of committee planning. Somehow we were able to collaborate successfully without trampling all over each others' feet, and the division of labor was organic and natural; those with interest and experience in some discipline got to do those things, didn't even have to try to avoid the others, and somehow all the bases were covered and it all worked out. A mess of notes from this exercise survive, and since most of the papers are undated they have no particular innate order. Artifacts. Ephemera. Such is ArtBus.

This is the overlay drawing based on the town street map capturing the drive time between sites on the various bus routes. Since the two buses would drive different routes to deposit and collect passengers all about town, we needed to calculate all possible drive times and then choose the segments that worked. Both buses were empty most of the time as they shuttled between locations and transported two programmatically distinct yet individually coherent audiences.

For folks not driving the buses, neither the town street map nor timetable study were particularly helpful. We needed traditional roles and blocking. Becky translated the public transportation plan into performer actions and took charge of tour guides Joel, Kurt, and Steve (Steve was reassigned when we were unable to obtain Wirtz Hall dormitory staff support).

Wetware in action! A companion drawing to the town street map and first timetable study, this documents another stage in the logistics and route planning process. It was an attempt to abstract the route segment durations away from the physical routes. We can still claim it worked, even though it could never be proven necessary.

Getting to the final route map required an empirical test of the timetable study assumptions. Our dry run came in under plan by three minutes—at 01:07:24 versus 01:10:21—and we figured that was well within tolerance for any live music event, as long as it wasn't boring.

This map copied from the Dekalb telephone directory was the entire route plan. Since we had two professional bus drivers—regulars on the Husky line which operated about town and the NIU campus—engaged, all we had to do was highlight some of the more obvious route choices once the locations were established. This was enough to start driving and timing the possible route segments. Either we got it right the first time, or our drivers improvised better routes in performance.

Becky whipped it out again for the ArtBus event with a semi-random postcard or two. Though two media transformations—digital photo to JPEG followed by color adjustments in GIMP—can't quite resurrect the original DayGlo look and feel, "Mr. Travel" captures the spirit of the thing succinctly.

December 1985
The Neoteric rang out 1985 with a reprise of the Elastic Theatre theme in downtown Chicago's Randolph Street Gallery. By this time there had been several personnel changes, and I would love to see a program with the list of performers should anyone still have one. Of course it is possible we never produced one, as the Ensemble's organizational abilities had been thoroughly taxed by ArtBus and logistics was not the strongest suit of the Chicago fringe galleries (few could survive on the largesse of the Illinois Arts Council alone, so day gigs conflicted as a rule).
Those interested in the fate of the Randolph Street Gallery may be interested in the archive project posted by students of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which acquired the RSG ephemera after the gallery closed in 1998.

The Randolph Street Gallery made a space available for performance as part of the annual juried show "5/5", named for the number of participating galleries. The Ensemble applied to present Elastic Theatre (note the spelling of "theatre" is persistently inconsistent).

The application is notable chiefly for the floor plan. Interestingly, it was rare to receive one when planning a performance—often only rough room dimensions were available, or one was invited to "come down and check out the space"—but galleries specializing in concrete works tended to have dimensioned plans on file. RSG, which catered to performance and video art, provided better information than most.

The Ensemble recast Erik Satie's notorious ballet instantanéiste as an improvised bachelor party, accompanying René Clair's film Entr'acte at the interval. The elements of the poster—largely ripped off from Satie's own work—include a plastic milk jug; latex-covered milk jugs were an integral part of the makeup for the male performers, each of whom had an extra handle plus six inches of added height during the show.

These are samples from one of two video tapes made at the performance. Captions correspond roughly to the scenes according to the stage directions, which were based loosely on the headings in Satie's score.
The West End costumes of Toujours Perdrix fame made a guest appearance. Produce was in the air. Liberties were taken throughout the performance—though the film score was followed as faithfully as the Ensemble's abilities allowed—and there was plenty of cleanup required afterwards.
