Inspired by French sociologist Bruno Latour’s 2005 tome Reassembling the Social, Murray Guy’s current exhibition, “A form is simply something which allows something else to be transported from one site to another,” examines uncertainty, association, displacement, and the boundaries of human perception, with contributions from Leonor Antunes, Gregg Bordowitz, Joachim Koester, Ulrike Müller, Hannah Rickards, John Smith, Sergei Tcherepnin, and Emily Wardill. The show closes on Friday, August 5, at 7:00 with a special free performance by Brooklyn-based audiovisual artist Tcherepnin, one of Issue Project Room’s 2012 artists-in-residence. Tcherepnin will play an eighteen-channel musical composition through flexible speakers made of such materials as paper, cardboard, aluminum, and copper that will transform throughout the space during the performance, offering each individual a unique sonic and visual experience.
