Qasim Naqvi: Slow Television
About This Event
Classical musician Qasim Naqvi brings a practice that moves between composed material and collaborative set-making to Roulette, where the room and players help shape the performance. Known for projects including MIXOLOGY, Michael Foster with Strings and Talk Show, Naqvi favors structure and close listening over display.
About Slow Television
“Slow Television” arrives at Roulette as a classical set shaped in real time. Qasim Naqvi works between written material and a collaborative method where the room, the players, and the order of events help determine what the piece becomes. His background in projects like MIXOLOGY, Michael Foster with Strings, and Talk Show points to a practice that treats structure as something negotiated, not fixed. In a New York context that often rewards speed and volume, the work’s restraint reads as a quiet argument for listening.
