From the organizer:

A night dedicated to…

ARTHUR RUSSELL

Avant-garde composer, singer-songwriter, cellist, and disco producer.

DOCUMENTARY SCREENING + LIVE MUSIC

Documentary: Wild Combination is director Matt Wolf’s visually absorbing portrait of Arthur Russell. Before his untimely death from AIDS in 1992, Arthur prolifically created music that spanned both pop and the transcendent possibilities of abstract art. Now, over fifteen years since his passing, Arthur’s work is finally finding its audience.

Wolf incorporates rare archival footage and commentary from Arthur’s family, friends, and closest collaborators—including Philip Glass and Allen Ginsberg—to tell this poignant and important story.

LIVE MUSIC: from the BLiND collective, who will be paying tribute with some covers of Arthur’s spine-tingling songs.

Tickets: 50,000 VND entrance (proceeds to musicians)
