Hector Canonge "18 BEATS, SONIC SURVEY ALONG THE 7 TRAIN"
Y Gallery (the Bowery)
This event has ended.
For the past few years, Canonge has been investigating connections between the public sphere and art practice in different cultures through the integration of technology, research and field work. For this exhibition, he uses touch screen -URBIS18- and commercial scanning technology -IRTag- to explore sonic perception in relation to various ethnic communities along the #7 Train line in Queens, New York. The artist studied the borough's diverse cultures, traditions and ethnic heritage as well as its history to present audio imprints (sound recordings and reproductions) and archival graphic material (maps and photo documentation).
