Gallery Talk with Anna Martine Whitehead
@ Logan Center Exhibitions
915 E 60th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Thursday, December 5th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
This event is held on behalf of the exhibition Camille Norment: Untitled (red flame), on view at the Logan Center Gallery November 15, 2019 – January 5, 2020. Camille Norment uses both harmony and dissonance as a lens to investigate social and political histories. The U.S.-born, Oslo-based artist has coined the term “cultural psychoacoustics” to describe the way in which she activates and explores various soundscapes in relationship to their cultural contexts and dimensions of public life. Her most recent work is an expansive, ongoing project entitled Untitled (Flame) that takes shape across the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts and the Renaissance Society, envisioned respectively as red flame and blue heat.
