Inviting the public into dialogue with artists, theorists, researchers, critics, educators, and cultural workers, the Gallery’s events position exhibition making as a lens through which to examine today’s issues and debates. Recognizing the public’s sense for inquiry and experimentation, these workshops, lectures, screenings, tours and other interventions ask us to reflect critically upon the ways we look and the forces inflecting our experience. Welcoming and supporting different modes of public participation, the Gallery’s programming aims to make and hold space for new vectors of interpretation and inclusion.

PERFORMANCE: A PLACE TO SIT
Philippe Battikha — trumpet & amplifier
Martín Rodríguez — radios & transmissions
Wednesday, March 25, at 2:15 PM and 5:15 PM
Begins at the SIGHTINGS cube, ground floor, Hall Building
Free
Through an ambulatory sound walk around the Hall Building, Rodríguez and Battikha will conjure past student protests that took place there through radio transmissions and amplified trumpet. Archival audio will resound in the spaces where it was once recorded, met and refracted by the building’s present-day sounds. This convergence of past and present will move from the ninth floor to the lobby, concluding with a sonic meditation on the act of sitting in the SIGHTINGS cube.
The performance will take place twice, at 2:15 pm and 5:15 pm.
