Psych-punk psychic warrior, ear worm-farmer, and possessor of many stamped passport pages John Dwyer does not let up. His group Oh Sees (aka Thee Oh Sees, OCS, The Oh Sees, etc) have transmogrified to fit many a moment - from hushed druggy folk to groovy demonic pop chants to science fictional krautrock expanse and beyond - to suit his omnivorous whims.

Intuition Festival: Night 1 of 2:

Through live music and short films, Intuition Festival touches on themes in The Broad’s collection exhibition, Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature. On the outdoor stage, Osees—torchbearers of Krautrock pioneers such as Can, Kraftwerk, and NEU!—let loose in an energetic special set, moving between songs from their prolific oeuvre and improvisations responding to themes of the festival. East German-born artist, time-based media art professor, and experimental musician Alva Noto presents a specifically tailored, rhythmically-driven set accompanied by live projected visuals. Alejandro (Ale) Cohen, Music Director at KCRW, will be playing vinyl from his personal collection to open the event, representing the genre known as "Krautrock" and related contemporary music. His DJ set will trace the lineage sparked by artists such as Michael Rother and Kraftwerk and contextualize their work with those they have influenced over the decades.

Over the course of two nights, the combined artist lineups of Intuition Festival delve into the impact of our collective experiences and the healing of body and mind, environmental consciousness, political activism, and social change. Connecting it all is an acknowledgment of the lasting influence of the highly experimental Krautrock movement, which emerged in post-World War II Germany when Beuys was active as both an artist and a professor at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Intuition Festival takes its name from Beuys’s most widely distributed multiple, Intuition (1968). Empty wooden boxes with the word “Intuition” penciled inside were sold inexpensively to thousands of people, illustrating both a democratization of art and the potential for viewers to imbue such artworks with their own personal meanings.
