Sara Ludy's Climates is a soundscape inspired by changes in perception of sound while experiencing a feverish state.
SEXING SOUND includes performances, installations, and panel discussions that present and examine the manifestations, contestations, and provocations of gender in contemporary music and sound art. These cultural fields are often presented as neutral or neuter, having often escaped the gender-inflected interrogation that has informed other art forms, such as media arts and photography, in Europe and the US during the past three decades.
Curated by film scholar Michelle Puetz, this program presents films that investigate the visual and aural possibilities of 16mm optical audio, as sounds perform images and images become sonic scores. Works by Peter Kubelka, Chris Langdon, Robert Russett, Paul Sharits, Barry Spinello, and a live accompaniment by musicians Art Lange, Guillermo Gregorio, and Brian Labycz to Richard Lerman's Sections for Screen Performers and Audience (1974).
Presented in conjunction with the Poetry Center of Chicago and the Learning Modern exhibition at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
