In November 2021, the International Contemporary Ensemble is back at Target Margin with a new installation by Nathan Davis (which explores geologic time with ready-to-use building materials), plus collaborations with Nicholas Houfek’s ColorSynth, Phyllis Chen’s Tone Grove, and more!

On November 4th, take a journey through different visual and sonic representations of textiles, panels, and frames. As Nathan Davis explores geologic time with ready-to-use building materials in his sound design for an upcoming collaborative architectural installation, Planetary Home Improvement, Marianthi Papalexandri-Alexandri’s Duo for Motor and Sound Panels brings audiences through a dynamic spatialization where the performer functions as a mechanism, like clockwork. Phyllis Chen’s Tone Grove translates Anni Albers’ weaving patterns into custom-built drum sequences, creating sounds from hand-cranked music boxes, bamboo, rice, bowls, and hands. Physical, tactile experiences become central to these works.

The concert will begin at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific.

Free with RSVP. In-person and livestream options available.

Attending in person: Proof of vaccination required for entry. Performers on this program are all vaccinated and tested. They will perform without masks at their discretion. Audience members will be approximately thirty feet from the performers.

The concert will take place at:

Target Margin Theater
232 52nd Street
