In Labyrinthitis, Kirkegaard employs otoacoustic emissions (low-level sounds emitted by the cochlea in response to auditory stimulus). Emissions generated by the artist’s ears produce otoacoustic emissions in the ears of the listeners. In this way, Labyrinthitis reframes hearing as an active sense rather than a passive one and positions the ear itself as an instrument.

A conversation between Melvin Edwards and Tony Ramos on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition Festivals, Funerals, and New Life.

Opening reception to follow.

All welcome.
