    About This Event

    clinamen is an installation by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot that pairs sound-making elements with moving water to investigate the material sources of tone and resonance. At the Park Avenue Armory the work functions as a walk-through environment, allowing close listening and observation of interactions between kinetic water and produced sound.

    About clinamen

    clinamen

    Salnitrum

    At Park Avenue Armory, the group clinamen stages a “free” performance that treats the building less as a proscenium than as a moving system. Actions are set in motion, then allowed to drift, collide, and re-form as small deviations accumulate into structure. The title nods to the ancient idea of a tiny swerve that makes contingency—and choice—possible, a useful frame for work built from instability. In New York, that approach reads as a quiet argument for attention over control, in a venue defined by scale and order.
