15: Laszlo Moholy-Nagy Birthday Celebration (Monday, July 20)

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy was born on this date in 1895. We celebrated Moholy-Nagy's birthday with an evening of music, a reading, and the screening of a video -- at Brown Rice. We screened Moholy-Nagy's "Lobsters" and talked about "Littlehampton's Lobsters," and Janina Ciezadlo reads from her memoir, which has connections to the design and social ideas of the Bauhaus.

Also, a sextet performed "Moholy #2," a composition by Guillermo Gregorio --
Guillermo Gregorio -- clarinet & saxophone
Christopher Preissing -- flute
Dan Godston -- trumpet & small instruments
Clifton Ingram -- acoustic guitar
Alex Wing -- upright bass
Joshua Manchester -- percussion
