In conversation with Ann Hamilton and Michael Mercil.
Please join us as artists Ann Hamilton and Michael Mercil moderate a conversation with Terminal Moraine creators Brian House and Ben Rubin. In this sound work, auditory representations of tree growth and glacial ice recession are simulated by algorithms: Cells expand and branch with an element of uncertainty while crystalline structures gradually break apart. The resulting sonic dialog expresses change on the border between the deep history of this place and whatever comes next. You can hear Terminal Moraine in the walled garden in the Elizabeth Scholtz Woodland Garden through July 11.
Attendees will learn about the artists’ process and also hear from BBG vice president for Horticulture Rowan Blaik, who joins the conversation to talk about the natural history of this area of the Garden.
Space is limited for this special program.
