clinamen
About This Event
clinamen is a free installation by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot at the Park Avenue Armory. Boursier-Mougenot is known for work that fuses sound and water; his practice generates tones from gently moving water to reconfigure how space is heard. Presented in the Armory’s vast interior, the piece foregrounds acoustic interaction and spatial listening rather than traditional performance conventions.
About 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.
