ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:
Utilizing harmonicas, tuning forks and looping stations, Oakland based artist Chris Duncan will create an immersive, quadraphonic sonic response to a series of videos comprised of captured natural light.
The piece is an acknowledgement of the phenomena that human beings are drawn to and capture aspects of natural light via film, digital means and video, with and without real purpose. The visual portion of the performance is comprised of several interpretations of this pursuit made by Maria Otero, Ryan Wallace, Lauren Douglas and Hilary Wiedemann – people who are equally fascinated with light. This will be a meditative, immersive experience.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Chris Duncan is an Oakland-based artist who employs repetition and accumulation as a basis for experiments in visual and sound based media. Often in flux between maximal and minimal, Duncan's work is a constant balancing act of positive or negative, loud or quite, solitary or participatory and tends to lead towards questions regarding perception, experience and transcendence. Outside of his studio practice he organizes events and runs a small artist book press and record label called LAND AND SEA with his wife. Duncan holds a BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts and a Masters Degree in Art Practice from Stanford University.
