Part rock show. Part comedy act. Part spectacle. US Air Guitar allows ordinary people to become ridiculous rock stars. Hosted by the reigning Cleveland Air Guitar Champion, Ricky Stinkfingers, a new set of competitors vie to take the throne. Witness the spectacle yourself on June 4th @ CODA
“It is for good reason that competitive air guitar is widely considered the purest form of human entertainment. By making the heart of the matter invisible—by objectifying nothing—air guitar derives its legitimacy not from some received expectation of cultural value, but rather from the mere presence of the people gathered to bear witness. The competitors, the judges, and the crowd are the only proof that this event even exists. And as a result, its meaning is purely subjective. Every air guitar is an empty vessel, resistant to banal interpretation. And thus, impossible to destroy.” ~ Kriston Rucker, co-commissioner, US Air Guitar
