‘Return Relief’ at Audible

Beginning June 28th, Audible will be exhibiting Return Relief. Return Relief is a site-specific deinstallation drawing and extension of Kristin M. Frieman’s Thread Tracings: a Dressmaker’s Still Life. Bringing a fresh supply of materials to the gallery space, and using the pinholes of the current installation as a guide, the artist will create a new description of the artwork’s progression in time. The result will be a large-scale wall drawing, a retracing of the original labor in relief. The installation will run through August 17.  Please call 773-769-1069 or email jonathan[at]exsost[dot]org to schedule an appointment.

New City Chicago recently wrote a portrait of Kristin and her work. The text can be found here: http://www.newcitychicago.com/chicago/7811.html

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. Please visit the Florasonic page for more information.

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.
