Marcus Fischer is a first generation American musician + interdisciplinary artist based in Portland, Oregon. His work typically centers around memory, geography + the manipulation of physical audio recording mediums. Slowly unfolding melodies and warm tape saturated drones have become a trademark of his recordings + live performances alike. These sounds have found their way into multimedia installations, short films, and even into the award winning public radio program Radiolab. Fischer has released a number of recordings on the widely respected 12k label including his photographic + sonic collaborations with label founder Taylor Deupree. In 2017 Marcus Fischer was an artist in residence at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation / Rauschenberg Residency where he completed “Loss”, his most recent solo album (released September, 2017)

Two of his sound works were on view in the 2019 Whitney Biennial May 17th-Sept 22nd, 2019.

Fischer performs solo, in collaborations, and as a member of unrecognizable now and wild card.

SOU’WESTER ARTS WEEK: the Sou’wester will be given over to artists and art collectives for a week of residency work and a weekend of open houses and public performances.

The goal of this event is to highlight the creative process and the experiential nature of the Sou’wester Residency Program. Walking into an active creative process reveals valuable intersections among artists as well as with the public. Experience these living artifacts at the open studios and weekend performances. Visit HERE for more information.

March 7-14, 2021 The Sou’wester will host 30-35 artists and art collectives for a week of residency work, music, performances and installations.

Once again, The Sou’wester will be given over to artists and art collectives for a week of residency work and a weekend of ‘open houses’ and ‘public performances’: re-imagined for our present world.

Decentralized, Staggered & Open Air, etc.

Over the past 6 years we have held an event around this time of year to highlight the creative process and the experiential nature of the Sou’wester Residency Program. Each year this event brings amazing artists to this neck of the woods and shines creative light into the darkest heart of winter. The focus of the 2nd Annual ARTS WEEK is reconvention, reunion, reflection and renewal.

The public will be invited to tour installations on the grounds and surrounding areas as well as participate in self-guided open studios and/or studio visits by appointment. This event will also be shared with the broader public through live links, streaming, broadcasts from the studios, social media, and online archive of the projects and participants.
