A record release celebration featuring one set of duos with Bonnie Han Jones and one set of trios with Michael Zerang and Hal Rammel.

The new record is Became These on Pentiments. It’s a double vinyl LP of previously unreleased earlier sound works from 1996-2020.

Lou Mallozzi is an interdisciplinary artist who dismantles and reconstitutes gesture, sound, image, and language to poetically destabilize our relationships with the familiar through performances, installations, interventions, fixed media works, improvised music, drawings, and collaborations. His work has been exhibited and performed in many venues in the US and Europe, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The Smart Museum at the University of Chicago, TUBE Audio Art Series in Munich, Radiorevolten Festival in Halle, Constellation in Chicago, and many others. He has been awarded grants, fellowships, and residencies in support of his work, including the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Study Center, The Emily Harvey Foundation (Venice), and the Illinois Arts Council. In 2020, NewCity named him as one of thirty artists “foundational to the art world of Chicago.”
