Open Lot to present concert featuring
Paul Metzger, Tim Kaiser on March 18

Via 52nd City, we learn that Open Lot, an arts collective and performance space located at 1310 S. 18th St., will present a concert featuring Paul Metzger and Tim Kaiser on Tuesday, March 18.

Metzger (pictured), who's from St. Paul, MN, draws on multiple musical genres and uses a variety of extended techniques to perform improvised music on specially modified guitars and a custom-built 12-string banjo. Kaiser is a multi-media artist from Duluth, MN who incorporates circuit-bent electronics and found instruments into his "post-modern folk music."

According to the post at 52nd City, Open Lot includes a printmaker, two architects, a painter, and a sculptor who share live/work space and are now opening it up to others for events and performances. Here's hoping their schedule will include more adventurous, experimental, and/or off-the-beaten-path shows like the Metzger/Kaiser bill.
