Torrance Art Museum is pleased to present this second incarnation of the Zoom series: ZOOM 2. For three consecutive Saturdays, beginning on June 26, the entire museum will be host to experimental sound installations, performance works, and light/video projects.
Saturday, June 26, 12-5pm � VOLUME presents Presence VOLUME is pleased to present Presence, an afternoon of immersive sound, video, and durational performance. Presence plays with the multiple meanings of the title to contextualize divergent practices by a unique selection of artists all working across a spectrum of time based media, whether it is video, sound, durational performance, or installation. There will be a collection of gestures, words spoken, interplay of light and sound, moments of silence, focus, transgressions, layered meanings and experiences, noises, the sound of breathing and bodies performing tasks, a deeper awareness of the passage of time.
Artists: Jennifer Boyd, Frank Bretschneider, Heather Cassils, Richard Chartier, i8u, Monique Jenkinson, Kadet Kuhne, Marc Manning, Mem1, A.B. Miner, Yann Novak, Adam Overton, Taisha Paggett, Semiconductor, Sublamp
