    About This Event

    Céleste Boursier-Mougenot works at the intersection of sound and water, creating site-specific arrangements in which acoustic phenomena arise from liquid movement. His installation clinamen will be presented at the Park Avenue Armory, arranging gently moving water and harmonizing tones within the building to foreground the relationship between sound and architectural space.

    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.
