VOLUME and Human Resources are pleased to present a performance by pianist, improviser, and composer Vicki Ray as part of “Cosm, Organism-Construction, Second Instance,” an exhibition of new work by Anja Weiser Flower. This occasion will present a rare opportunity to experience an extended, improvised sound world by one of the foremost artists working with prepared piano and the modern and contemporary repertoire. Building on the themes of the music of the spheres, cosmology, and dialectical and organic development present in Flower’s work, the evening will serve as an invitation to commune with our cosmic environment and envision new possibilities for human transformation.The performance will take place in darkness, with Flower’s work providing the main source of illumination. Minor lighting sources may also be provided as needed throughout the room to ensure comfortable and safe navigation. The audience will be encouraged to move freely throughout the space, exploring all avenues for dynamically relating to both the performance and artwork, with seating available to facilitate extended immersion in Ray’s sound world.
