Bonjour comment ça va? (1972-79)

Apartment House worked with Luc Ferrari in London, 2002, and subsequently performed his music around Europe.

“To Tautologize . . . ”  

Prior to tautologizing with Apartment House, David Grubbs will present a short talk on Luc Ferrari’s Tautologos series and the multiple meanings and productive redundancies of what Ferrari referred to as “pleonastic parody.”
