Hasta La Ideas

Fresh off the big success of having Animal Collective and artist Danny Perez team up and host an event, the Guggenheim has announced “Dark Sounds,” a summer concert series that will pair a handful indie darling musicians with their Haunted: Contemporary Film/Video/Performance exhibition. Running one per month, they’ve invited hot shots like Andrew Bird and the band Beirut to come play in the late-evening, with their doors opening a couple of hours ahead of time to allow visitors to take in the exhibit. So maybe not as immediately connected to specific work as the Animal Collective experiment was, it should still be an interesting time. If you can get tickets, of course, which will likely go absurdly fast. Here are the important details:

Dates:

July 15, 2010: Beirut
August 5, 2010: Andrew Bird and Ian Schneller
September 3, 2010: Cinematic Orchestra
