12 Minutes Max

12 Minutes Max is a curated monthly performance series featuring short works by local artists in many disciplines.

Musician Marcus Koncar will perform a few of his more recent songs with friends Ivy Smith and Jake Rosenzweig. Marcus writes normally about personal experiences that are “a little too forthcoming with details” and has been described as "[having] a rare, authentic sort of earnestness and perception" within a sound that exists somewhere in the realm of avant-garde americana, psych folk and slowcore. He has been making music for five years in Salt Lake City, with two albums released under his name and three under the old moniker: r. Candall Lark.

Trent Harris will screen a brand-new short film called Soviet Bus Stop. Trent says “I make films because it is fun!  And I like ants.  I also love to make collages, so this is a collage film starring my friends the ants.” Independent Film & Video Magazine called Trent Harris, “One of America’s premiere cult directors.” Major screenings of his work include: Sundance, The Lincoln Center in New York, the British Film Institute, the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna, The Swiss Cinematheque, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has also been honored with six retrospectives of his work in Europe, South America and the States. Harris has just completed his eight feature film, Echo People. Along with dozens of experimental films he has also produced scores of nationally broadcast documentaries for NBC, National Geographic and PBS. 

Choreographer and dancer Nina Wilson will present a duet created in collaboration with Masio Sangster, about, for and in remembrance of siblings. Nina joined the Salt Lake arts community in 2019, and has performed and choreographed with Oquirrh West Project, 801 Salon and others.

This program is modeled after 12 Minutes Max, a performance laboratory originated by On the Boards in Seattle.
