Biography
Object Collection was founded in January 2004 when founders Kara Feely and Travis Just presented a concert of John Cage's seminal theater and music composition, Song Books, at the Kunst-Station Sankt Peter in Cologne, . This landmark work, that pairs experimental music and theater together within a single interdisciplinary performance, became an inspirational model for the genesis of the company. Now entering into its fifth year, Object Collection puts these ideas into practice by presenting hybrid theater-music performances, which take the shape of longer theatrical-style runs, one-off concerts, and curated performance series. Based in New York City, the company collaborates with an increasing number of actors, musicians, composers, designers, and visual artists, actively combining techniques and methodologies from different mediums in order to generate new artistic work in unchartered forms. Object Collection's work has appeared at a variety of theaters, concert venues, galleries, art spaces, and festivals, including: the Ontological Theater, Experimental Intermedia, Chez Bushwick/AMBUSH, Issue Project Room (New York); Podewil/TESLA, KuLe, REM/Reihe Elektronischer Musik (); Loop-Line, Gallery Soap (Japan); Los Solos (Baltimore), and Art Basel (Miami).
