A Silent Reading with Ann Hamilton and Joshua Beckman

Acts of reading connect the spaces and objects of the common S E N S E. The often solitary and silent act of reading is both a social and aural address to something that was once alive.

This collaboration between Ann Hamilton and Joshua Beckman focuses on silent reading as shared experience. Working with Beckman’s meticulously collected text fragments that reference the lives, songs, and calls of eighteenth– and nineteenth-century birds, Hamilton created video fragments to be projected on the walls of the lower level gallery housing the field of bullroarers. Please join us and be part of this immersive and performative one-night event.
