Melancholy Techno

A.Y.O.Q. (Answer Your Own Questions), is a Baltimore-based arts organization devoted to coordinating public lectures and performances by practicing artists, film makers, and musicians. Founded by students and alumni from the North East region, A.Y.O.Q was developed to present alternative models and standards to those imposed by the art academy. Through a collaborative effort, A.Y.O.Q. extends an invitation to figures from varying backgrounds and disciplines, with a prompt to consider how personal and professional circumstances affect their artistic practice.

A.Y.O.Q. is proud to anounce its first event "Melancholy Techno," a presentation by musical artist/producer Rjyan Kidwell, also known by his project title, Cex. This program is scheduled for November 14th at the Contemporary Museum's upper-level gallery space, where Kidwell plans to incorporate musical performance with a brief discourse on the history of electronic music. He has creatively titled his presentation "Melancholy Techno." Other upcoming visitors include the electronic musician MATMOS and the multi-media, nomad artist Bob Snead.
