************************

Conloninpurple, Trimpin's installation at the Tacoma Art Museum, is  
an homage to composer Conlon Nancarrow (1912-1997) whose musical  
compositions are too complex to be played by human beings. For this  
performance of Nancarrow's works, Trimpin has created a box equipped  
with 88 mallets that fits over the keyboard of an upright piano which  
he will operate using a laptop computer.  A rare 1989 interview with  
Nancarrow will be screened, and independent curator Beth Sellars will  
present a brief overview of the two-year survey of exhibitions in the  
Northwest honoring Trimpin.  Reception to follow with Trimpin in  
attendance.
