Everyday Experimental draws its inspiration from commonplace activities and inconsequential sounds of the everyday: from Knowles’ exploration of the sound of a bean to Lambkin’s uncanny field recordings of the interior and grounds of his home in upstate New York. With a special focus on the contribution of women to sound art, ISSUE Project Room will present a series of performances and talks with Alison Knowles [11.17], a new work by Moniek Darge followed by electroacoustic collaborations with Françoise Vanhecke and Graham Lambkin [11.18] and a sound installation by Annea Lockwood [11.14-11.19] along with a performance by Lois Svard of Lockwood’s Ear-Walking Woman and a multi-channel sound piece by Chicago based composer Olivia Block [11.19]. Through an intergenerational dialogue, Everyday Experimental looks at the work of three historically significant female artists and maps relevant contemporary practices.

11.17: Littoral: Alison Knowles

Knowles, an early Fluxus collaborator, will perform Loose Pages, followed by a performance by cellist Alex Waterman of one of Knowles’ “Bean Scores.”

11.18: Moniek Darge with Françoise Vanhecke & Graham Lambkin

Sonic artist Moniek Darge fuses land art with soundscaping to paint aural pictures of different places in the world.

11.19: Annea Lockwood’s Ear-Walking Woman performed by Lois Svard + Olivia Block

Lois Svard and Olivia Block perform Lockwood’s piece for prepared piano and exploring pianist.

11.14 – 11.19: Annea Lockwood’s “A Sound-map of the Housatonic River”

Everyday Experimental is made possible, in part, through support from the Barbara Lee Family Foundation
