Screening and Performance Series
Opening Reception, Saturday, Nov. 18, 6pm, with performance by Orthrelms Mick Barr

The program considers varying conditions of surrender and mania in the obsessive fracturing of time and sound. Featuring established and contemporary artists, REPEAT REDUX presents daily screenings in the Whitney at Altria Gallery punctuated by two evening performances and special screenings in the Sculpture Court by artists whose practices include music making.

Screening program includes Dan Graham, Jonathan Horowitz, Bruce Nauman, Jim ORourke, Oliver Payne & Nick Relph, and Catherine Sullivan. Additional artists to be announced. Performances by Loris Gréaud and Orthrelms Mick Barr.
