This Week in A.I.R. / August 21

SATURDAY, August 21st

HOUSEPLANT VACATION

1-4:00pm Lindbrook Terrace

Performance schedule for plants:

1-2pm

Haruko Tanaka, one half of the artist intuitive duo Krystal Krunch, will conduct a follow up to Krystal Krunch partner, Asher Hartman's August 7th visit. She will check in with the plants and relay any energetic messages received.

2-3pm

Laura Steenberge will address the plants with a battery of readings specially tailored to maximize plant efficacy

3-4pm

Robert Crouch will perform an improvised sound work exploring the intersection of music, public space, and landscape. His performance will incorporate a collection of processed field recordings culled from a variety of sources including Hollywood Blvd., Joshua Tree National Park, and a recent performance by artist Julie Tolentino.

Sublamp (Los Angeles based artist Ryan Connor) uses sampled string instruments and a selection of field recordings to create a slowly evolving time-based map of an imagined landscape. This audio map is used to explore both a physiological reaction to sound as a means to understand one's environment and an intuitive / emotional response to sound.
