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.
SIGHTINGS 46
This event is presented in conjunction with SIGHTINGS 46: A PLACE TO SIT, a project by Philippe Battikha & Martín Rodríguez on view on the ground floor of the Hall Building until May 17, 2026.
