Please join us tonight for Intermission 1
7-9pm at RH Gallery.
Autumn Intermission is a collaboration with Opalnest featuring a series of performances which act as parallel happenings complementing the three major exhibitions opening this Fall at RH Gallery. Conceived by Gallery Director Rebecca Heidenberg and Opalnest Producer Helen Homan Wu, Autumn Intermission will provide a site-specific experimental platform to initiate a dialogue with the artists and the distinct architecture of the gallery.
Today marks the debut of the series with Intermission 1 inspired by RH Gallery's exhibition Hunting and Gathering, featuring composer Ben Vida and interdisciplinary artist Richard Garet, each performing solo acts to create an immersive sonic environment within the gallery space. Ben Vida is a Brooklyn-based composer and sound artist. He produces compositions that utilize analog and digital synthesizing technologies and focus on aural phenomena and sound localization. Ben has released over twenty records on such labels as PAN, Thrill Jockey, Drag City, Amish, Bottrop-Boy, Hapna and Kranky. Richard Garet interweaves various media including moving image, sound, multimedia performance, and photography. He constructs intimate spaces and immersive situations that draw attention to the processes of perception and cognition, and which activate sensorial, physical, psychological phenomena that reflect on the nature and experience of time.
