Spiral Body: Who Knows: Sound Performance/Installation
@ International Museum of Surgical Science
1524 N Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60610
Opening Sunday, February 25th, from 6:30PM - 8:30PM
Spiral Body is a site-specific existence.
These performances consider the space itself to feature as the “main character” while Spiral Body merely gives voice to a personality felt within the space. The sound installation arises from our questions about our presence without physical existence. Around, inside and outside the installation, Takahashi’s spoken word is warped and modified within the space and within McBride’s soundscapes and sound responses.
About the Artist:
Spiral Body is a permanent vehicle, with no specific location to call home but wherever space it may find itself in the moment defines its present shape. We prefer to work mostly with sound as a medium because it moves through the air changing, fragmenting outwards into impressions and then a memory.
Doors open at 6:30 pm
