OPEN CIRCUIT
MoMA PS1
Saturday 29 January 2011 to Saturday 29 January 2011
Matthew Radune, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, and Thomas Dexter present OPEN CIRCUIT, an interactive sonic architecture that transforms tools of surveillance into instruments of creative play. Exploring themes of institutional control and creative freedom, the visitors’ movement within the space triggers audio sensors that generate original, accumulative sound.
Performers Maria Chavez and Shelley Burgon, respectively on turntables and harp, improvise to further engage the installation.
Beginning on January 15, 2011, MoMA PS1 will relaunch its dynamic events series Saturday Sessions. Designed to introduce a wide range of performance, each event welcomes a different host and occurs every other Saturday of the month, from January 15 to June 25, in the Third Floor Main Gallery from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Past Saturday Sessions have included music, film, and multidisciplinary elements. This season’s programs will expand to include artist lectures and architecture based projects.
