enTsemble

Harvestworks is pleased to partner with the Institute for Public Architecture to present an experimental audio visual performance by Sofy Yuditskaya, Monica Rocha, Johannes Sistermanns and Hans Tammen who come together for the sake of the sound and the silences in between the sounds. It is about architecture and how we relate to it and each other within it.

Using the Block Building #9 on Governors Island as a musical instrument, the artists will activate the first floor room and explore how they relate to it and each other within it. It’s about listening and being present in the moment. Friction is a cue to listen more deeply. We don’t always want to know the motivations behind every move. And yet: we are curious about what provokes each action, each sound, sculpture, body surrounding emptiness. Breaking out of it, like a crash, falling back into silence, unmoving. Network, intensity, authenticity, simple frame, noise, listening floors… time is too short for us to break off after 45 minutes. EnTsemble always meets again, somewhere else, hearing grass grow.
