    About This Event

    Céleste Boursier-Mougenot presents clinamen at the Park Avenue Armory, an installation pairing gently moving water with harmonizing tones. The work continues his investigation of sound as a sculptural, material process, focusing attention on shifting acoustic relationships rather than conventional musical narrative. The Armory's large-scale interior accommodates the installation's spatial and acoustic demands.

    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.
