Dodecagonal Murmur in a Tridecagonal Ear (working title—upcoming)
This is a public sound exhibition. Artists' work is played through a parabolic (directional) speaker in public space. The sound is clearly audible in a very small area because of the narrow column of sound projected by the speaker.
A dry run of project took place in Minneapolis at 44°56'54.2"N 93°17'28.7"W (between Highpoint Center for Printmaking [912 W. Lake St, Minneapois] and Eye of Horus) the weekend of November 28, 2020. It is best heard on the sidewalk near the alley.
Additional artists will be included in the upcoming exhibition.
Run time: ~2hrs 32min
