A survey of contemporary and historical performances in New York by The Haters, formed in 1979 by GX Jupitter-Larsen. From the liner notes: Feb 22, 2025: It was an installment of “Digging Through Time” staged at TV Eye in Queens. Performing as The Haters, GX scraped a shovel against a large wooden clock he was holding up, while John Wiese and Crank Sturgeon scratched and sanded their own shovels. The venue was well past its capacity. The audience smashed up the oversized clock after GX tossed it into the crowd. The audience demanded an encore. They were not disappointed. (#436) June 7, 2001: A variation of the “Dirwyn” performance (amplified calculator against a small fan). GX used his Untitled Title Belt for additional sounds. Staged at the gallery Scrape & Pry. (#284) Dec, 8, 1991: The first ever clici-clic performance. A “clici-clic” is a hand-held hole-punch mounted with a contact-mic for amplification. Three members of The Haters each used a clici-clic to pop hundreds upon hundreds of little holes through numerous sheets of paper & cardboard. Staged at the Generator gallery when it was still located in Chelsea. (#155)
