Alma Lights Hand-In-Glove Reception and Performance

This Alma Lights reception will feature a special performance by the Labor Camp Orchestra for Hand-in-Glove, a national convening for the field of alternative art spaces, artist-led projects and artists’ organizations. All are welcome.

The performance of “Malignum Aditum Puncti” is an audio elaboration on the structural ideas introduced in the physical installation by Piotr Szyhalski. A sonic intervention in the two adjacent rooms sharing a wall creates a disjointed, yet cohesive musical experience. While the intense, immaterial presence of sound commands attention, and transcends the physical limitations of objects and spaces, the audiences are able to move freely between the two environments, effectively manipulating their own experience of the work.

This new, live musical material is constructed and performed by the Labor Camp Orchestra specifically for the “Malignum Aditum Puncti” event using analogue modular synthesis system.

About Alma Lights: http://northern.lights.mn/projects/alma-lights

Northern Lights.mn is excited to team up with Restaurant Alma this summer to present Alma Lights, a temporary arts hub that will support a range of artist installations at the Alma building (528-530 University Ave SE, Minneapolis) prior to Alma’s upcoming expansion.

As Restaurant Alma plans with James Dayton Design how to reconfigure the space with expanded facilities, Northern Lights.mn is inviting 10-20 artists, including:

These artists will create interventions, installations, and experiences throughout the building between July 16 and September 15. The interventions are intended to alter one’s perceptions of the mundane aspects of almost any space - the stairways, the moldings, the doors, the hallways, the storage areas, the flooring, the windows - to release the collective imagination of what an activated space might be for residents, workers, and even the surrounding community.

Spectacular and subtle artist interventions in the details of 528-530 University Avenue reflect Northern Lights.mn’s mission to support artists who help us see the world in a new light and Restaurant Alma’s drive to “to turn the extraordinary into the ordinary every day.”
