Charles Stankievech Performance: The Glass Key (Domus)

Showings

Contemporary Calgary Thu, Mar 2, 2023 7:00 PM

Description

Extended as a public program of Charles Stankievech: The Desert Turned to Glass, please join us on the evening of the opening, for a live concert performed by the artist. 

 

Temporality and timelessness collide in a live improvisation by the artist Charles Stankievech in the planetarium dome. Marshalling both subterranean and cosmic noise, the work invites viewers to meditate on deep time, deep space, and deep listening. “The Glass Key (Domus)“ comprises original field recordings of solar rays (crackling within the earth's ionosphere), hydrophone recordings of Arctic ice, water rush within Yucatan cenotes (created by a meteorite impact) and echoes within Lanzarote's volcanic calderas. Originally commissioned for James Turrell’s Tree of Light at Hacienda Ochil, Merida Mexico.
