Opening Reception
Join the curators and artists of Shifting Center to celebrate the opening of the buildingwide exhibition.
Artworks by Julian Abraham “Togar”, Tania Candiani, Padmini Chettur & Maarten Visser, Beatriz Cortez, Guillermo Escalón & Igor de Gandarias, Hugo Esquinca, Maurice Louca, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Nancy Mounir, Gala Porras-Kim, Micah Silver, and Clarissa Tossin & Michelle Agnes Magalhães will be presented throughout the concert hall, theater, and studios. The exhibition also engages earlier experiments of deep listening and psychoacoustics by Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) and Maryanne Amacher (1938-2009) at EMPAC through new works that approach the building as an instrument in itself.
Refreshments and light snacks will be available. RSVP is appreciated.
