This one night event centers on the shared experience of change and the finality of arrival, expressed through a diverse range of media, including soundscapes, light, and both moving and still images. Featured artists will present works that challenge perceptions of value, persistence, and transformation.

​

Central to this iteration is a performance by artist Chanel Matsunami Govreau. Inspired by sci-fi horror and daily rituals, Govreau channels a monstrous embodiment of invisible discomfort. The performance is a movement-based endurance act that questions the value of a body that doesn’t “perform” or that falters and evolves in ways that escape capitalist metrics. Culminating in a ritualistic transformation, where Govreau carefully disassembles the sculptural vessel, reconfiguring its components into a new form, an externalized version of the internal.

Brooklyn-based sound and experiential media artist Jenn Grossman, known for her work in sound sculpture, audiovisual installation, and electronic composition will be installing a sound sculpture that focuses on the psycho-spatial, surreal, affective, and transcendent potentials of sensory media. Her practice, which also includes sound collage, light/video events, and public interventions, explores how sound and other sensory media can shape our experience of a space.

​

Laura Horne and Harold Wortsman will be showing a new collaborative  video/sound and sculptural work. Based in Brooklyn, Wortsman is a sculptor and printmaker whose work is grounded in traditions that leap across time, from prehistoric cave paintings and ancient votive objects to the postmodern moment. The collaboration with Horne, a sound and video artist, will integrate her media elements directly into Wortsman's fired clay sculptures. By adding soundscapes and video projections to his tactile, form-driven work, the collaboration will explore how the historical weight of Wortsman's sculptures can be expanded and recontextualized with modern media, creating a dynamic piece that navigates both time and medium.

Sculptures by Duy Hoàng and Himeka Murai, and a light-based work by Jonathan Sims. Hoàng's work uses a makeshift survival shelter motif to explore the notion of "impermanence home," questioning our mortality while celebrating our adaptability. Similarly, Murai will present a sculpture of a found door, part of her practice of using found objects and natural inks to create installations and sculptures. Her work, which is influenced by the urban-nature intersections of Tokyo and New York, finds non-traditional beauty and historical ambiguity in the textures of overlooked objects. Sims’ work, which uses light to reveal underlying geometries, also connects past and future by exploring patterns that suggest language and mathematical arrangements, further expanding the dialogue on how we perceive and navigate the spaces between endings and new beginnings.
