Times Square Event

Here is an image of Loop 2.4.3 performing for the unveiling of Robert Indiana's Hope sculpture at Times Square on June 4. The group had a great time collaborating with Teresa Smith, the Vinca Quartet, and Ha-Yang Kim. Indiana's sculpture was a hit, as was the performance.

Loop 2.4.3 meets the Godfathers of Pop Art

Robert Indiana's Hope sculpture, which he donated to Obama's election campaign, is being installed temporarily, June 4-10, in the new Times Square park. (Broadway between 47 and 42 is now a pedestrian thorough-fare w/ no cars). Michael McKenzie and Teresa Smith have collaborated with Loop 2.4.3 to present a multi-media dance/music performance to coincide with the installation of the Hope sculpture. The first performance will take place directly in front of the sculpture on Broadway, just north of 44th St. at 12pm (noon) on Thursday, June 4. The live music performed by Loop 2.4.3 will feature works from their forthcoming CD, Zodiac Dust.
