about
In its original form, nuvoblind was an experimental new wave band founded by musician, composer and video artist, Charles Freeman, in 1980. An influential member of the early Baltimore punk scene in the ‘70s, Charles first played bass and keyboards in the cabaret band, B.B. Steele Review, with John Waters stars Susan Lowe, Edith Massey and Cookie Mueller. He went on to play in Scratch ’n Sniff with drummer Gina Shock, and later, in Da Moronics with poet, Tom Diventi. In the 1990s, he co-founded the neo-cabaret group, Boister, which has recordings on Parisian label, Last Call Records. Charles has resurrected the experimental spirit of nuvoblind in the video and sound performance projects he creates with artist, Deborah Patterson.
Deborah Patterson is a visual artist and writer. Following her studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, in 1987 Deborah moved to Italy, where she lived and worked for many years. She returned to the United States to complete a masters degree in Religion & the Arts at Yale University’s Institute of Sacred Music and the Arts, which ultimately led to the completion of two painting and music collaborations with composer, Robert Sirota in Baltimore, where she subsequently met Charles and began to work with him.
