    About This Event

    Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, an artist known for his fusion of sound and water, presents the installation clinamen at the Park Avenue Armory. The work creates an environment in which gently moving water generates and shapes audible tones, extending Boursier-Mougenot's longstanding practice of translating physical systems into sound. It frames listening as a mode of attention within the Armory's interior.

    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.
