Randy Pingrey is a Boston based trombonist and composer.  Randy has been an active participant in many genres of music and he has been fortunate enough to perform and record in New York and Boston with jazz musicians like Frank Carlberg, Bill McHenry, and Anthony Coleman with indie rock bands like Bon Iver, Akron Family, and Land of Talk, and with classical musicians like Norman Bolter and Doug Wright.   Randy is a graduate of New England Conservatory and of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and he's currently working on writing music which combines his love for improvised jazz music with his interest in the American experimental music tradition.

California born musician Ryan Dragon has been studying music from the age of 7.  He is currently pursuing a degree in Jazz Composition at the Berklee College of Music.  Some of Ryan's musical accomplishments include performances in 4 continents and recordings with a number of different artists from Los Angeles to New York.  Ryan's  current projects include:  Kamora Records, The Kamora Quartet, and the Ryan Dragon Nonet.  The goal of all three projects is to bring some of the most talented and creative young musicians together to play music and to share that music with as many people as possible.

Call for Wearable Art Works: Surrealestate for the Mobius Artrages 2010 Wearable Art Runway Show

DEFINITION OF WEARABLE ART FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Wearable art, also known as Artwear or "art to wear", refers to individually designed pieces of (usually) hand-made clothing or jewelry created as fine or expressive art. While the making of any article of clothing or other wearable object typically involves aesthetic considerations, the term wearable art implies that the work is intended to be accepted as a serious and unique artistic creation or statement.

Most wearable art is made of fibrous materials and constitutes therefore a branch of the wider field of fiber art, which includes both wearable and non-wearable forms of art using fabric and other fiber products. Wearable art as an artistic domain can also of course include jewelry, or clothing made from non-fiber materials such as leather, plastic sheeting, metals, etc.

Extreme examples of wearable art:

Not all garments created as wearable art are made from traditional fibers or fabrics, and not all such artworks are meant for ordinary, practical use. Performance and conceptual artists have sometimes produced examples which are more provocative than useful.

A well known example is the "Electric Dress", a burqa-like costume consisting mostly of variously colored electrified and painted light bulbs, enmeshed in a tangle of wires, created in 1956 by the Japanese Gutai artist Atsuko Tanaka. This extreme garment was something like a stage costume. Not really wearable in an everyday, practical sense, it functioned rather as part of a daring work of performance art (though the "performance" element consisted merely of the artist's wearing the piece while mingling with spectators in a gallery setting).

In Nam June Paik's 1969 performance piece called "TV Bra for Living Sculpture," Charlotte Moorman played the cello while wearing a bra made of two small television sets.

More recently, Canadian artist Andrea Vander Kooij created a group of pieces called "Garments for Forced Intimacy" (2006). According to an essay at Concordia University's Faculty of Fine Arts gallery website, these hand-knit articles of clothing are designed to be worn by two people, and they, "as the name states, compel the wearers into uncharacteristic proximity."
