UPCOMING PROGRAM

Organized by Elena Botts (Mourning Dove)

Avant-garde Collective

January 18th

Description


This community showcase at Arts Letters & Numbers is meant as a site-specific convergence of avant-garde practices and creative action. Acts will include improvised noise performances, site-responsive rituals, and nature-based visual installations. The space will actively shape acoustics and interactions, inviting a collapse of the limit between performer and participant, a shared exploration of poetics, sound, and ephemera.

The unknown sound collective produces poetry-based sound art compositions of organic field recordings, experimental voice, and minimal instrumentation- a noise and freak folk ensemble that tends towards the otherworldly, often paired with other media, including impressionistic, nature/place-based glitch video, often captured in stills and reimagined as visual work in addition more traditional visual works such as impressionistic paintings, drawings, photo, digital work, usually portraits or organic material. 

The collective is organized by poet and interdisciplinary artist Elena Botts (Mourning Dove).

Date: January 18th, 2025
