Orange Noise
@ Uncle Art Gallery via The Capsule
1359 N. Maplewood St, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Saturday, November 9th, from 7PM - 10PM
On view through Saturday, December 7th
This is a show that hums on the q of: what occurs when we sing or sound off with the novel voices of history? 9 historical figures, chosen for the ways in which they retuned what a voice could be, are paired with artists as a speculative attempt at making an ensemble that is temporally unbound. The tuned-out-of-tune of this ensemble shares symmetry with orange noise, defined loosely as the sound of noise making together (think: an orchestra warming up). Archives and material ephemera collide with unique response works, takeaway objects, performances, covers, and all manners of creative research that hinge on the history of “making it new.”
Featuring the voices, objects, sounds, occasional ghosts, and material residue of:
