Mixed Taste Summer Season Announced

Planning Mixed Taste is like putting together a complicated puzzle. First, you must take into account the topics, then balance the speakers' schedules, the mix of programming, the flow of the season. After many phone calls and much consternation, the season comes together. So, I am pleased to announce the 2012 season of Mixed Taste.

David J Visits MCA Denver

Adam Lerner & David J at MCA Denver

As I teenager, I must have listened to my Sweet F.A. cassette tape by Love & Rockets five hundred times while attempting to finish homework in my room. The truth was, I was less interested in math and science then I was in music and spent that time wishing I was hanging out on stage in a band, working along side collaborators like David J.

Last weekend, the music legend payed a visit to the Mile High City and to the MCA where he give a lecture about his life and work in the early UK punk scene, and in bringing about pioneering bands Bauhaus and Love & Rockets. He gave the packed room insight to his teenage relationships with Kevin Haskins, Daniel Ash and Peter Murphy while the wall behind him flashed slide show images of his unique art work over the years. These days, David has been exploring other avenues of his creative expression with play and screen writing, producing and still manages to tour Europe and America with his own musical project which simply bears his Nom De Rock.

Top 5 Moments of Mixed Taste on Ice 2012

by: Joshua Novak

MCA Denver's noted tag team lecture series, Mixed Taste, is never shy of arresting moments, so choosing the top 5 is as difficult as being forced to pick your favorite Michael Jackson song – trust me, I've done it.

Every Friday, museum guests were witness to an intellectual tête-à-tête on a variety of topics from puppies & Nietzsche to Space Weather & Koolickles (that's right, I said Koolickles). And although the programs were put together with immense care, sometimes things didn't go as planned. That alone was worth the ticket price.
