Talks, Tours, and On-site Programs
ARTIST TALKS and RADIO PROGRAMS
In September, the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School presented a talk with artist Beatriz Cortez on Ilopango, the Volcano that Left and her research around the project.
ON-SITE PROGRAMS
The exhibition includes an after-hours installation and closing-day event by Hugo Esquinca, who will be presenting a work that probes the negative space and time of Shifting Center. Amplifying EMPAC’s sound systems throughout the building during the exhibition’s off-hours, the piece will explore sound at the margin of perceptibility, mediated through the Center’s architecture.
SATURDAY EXHIBITION TOURS WITH CURATORS VIC BROOKS, NIDA GHOUSE, and KATHERINE C.M. ADAMS
Three public tours with the Shifting Center curators offer insights into how EMPAC’s unique building is used to stage the exhibition. Shifting Center uses EMPAC’s performing arts and media production venues as exhibition spaces. In doing so, the exhibition sonically activates the building as though it were an instrument. The tour introduces the Center’s unique acoustic and theatrical architectures in the course of exploring the exhibition’s featured artworks.
