Glowing Neon Hums
Unlike a typical musical performance, the collaborators will come together only briefly to explore CIRCLESPHERE
Visitors are invited to bear witness to this truly unique performance: a two-hour long, evolving and frequently improvised auditory experience in the gallery environment – each performer inspired both the other’s playing and by the rotating neon sculptures before them., whether just passing through, dropping in for a while, or staying for the duration of the performance.
At the end of each performance, Wilkie will be in conversation with his collaborator for the day, discussing the experience of preparing for and undertaking the performance. Visitors are invited to return for the talk (if you didn’t stay for the duration) and the concluding Q&A session.
