    About This Event

    Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, whose practice fuses sound and water, presents the installation clinamen at the Park Avenue Armory. The work pairs gently moving water with harmonizing tones to shift attention toward emergent sonic relations within the Armory's interior. It continues the artist's investigation of how simple physical processes can produce musical structure.

    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.
