Thank you to all who came to the closing reception for Simplicism II.
We have two new installations opening this weekend. The first is Thread Tracings: A Dressmaker’s Still Life by Kristin Frieman. The installation is a series of over 100 embroidered drawings created from a dressmaker’s raw materials: needle, thread, and muslin. The compositions are created in sequence; threads pulled from the structure of the cloth hold a memory of linear form. This form, sometimes tangled, sometimes open, is captured in the process of tracing, and then recreated with an embroidered backstitch.
The opening reception is Friday, May 2, from 6-9 PM, with a musical performance by Hal Rammel. Please visit the Audible page for more information:

Our other new installation is Recordings Made in Public Spaces by Jeffrey M. Robinson, opening Sunday, May 4. An opening reception will be held from 3-5 PM.
Recordings Made in Public Spaces is the latest version of an ongoing project by Jeffrey M. Robinson, a sound artist from Chicago. Jeffrey collaborates with musicians by recording their performances, playing the recordings in large public spaces, then re-recording and electronically transforming them to emphasize the unique acoustical character of each space.

Experimental Sound Studio is shifting its approach to education. This summer, we’re starting a new series of workshops focused on exploratory artistic process and direct creativity, led by local and visiting artists with extensive experience in a range of creative approaches to sound. These will be supplemented by a new initiative to offer individual tutorials on technical and production subjects: one-on-one sessions with experienced artist-engineers that can be scheduled at your convenience year round.
