Presented in conjunction
with the exhibition Along the Border,
experimental composer, multimedia artist, and performance artist Guillermo
Galindo will perform an original composition using instruments he has crafted
from discarded objects found at multiple sites along the Mexico-United States
border.
Along the Border presents
Galindo's work, which explores the economic, political, and social issues
around the Mexico-United States border. Since 2009, Galindo has created a
series of instruments which he calls “cybertotemic sonic objects,” made from
discarded objects found along the 2000-mile national divide. The exhibition
features works constructed from discarded cans, shoes, bicycle wheels, wood,
leather, and more.
This
event is free and open to the public.
