For two nights only on April 20 and 21, join us for SYNC, an audiovisual collaboration between Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and percussionist, composer, and artist, Eli Keszler, originally commissioned by Pace Live. Come experience this special performance fundraiser amid Lozano-Hemmer's groundbreaking exhibition TECHS-MECHS, while supporting Gray Area's year of ACCESS programming.
7-8PM Patron Experience: Artist Meet & Greet
8PM Doors open for cocktail hour
9PM Sync Performance
The evening will open with an artist talk from Lozano-Hemmer, followed by "Sync", an audiovisual collaboration between Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Eli Keszler, originally commissioned by Pace Live. A multi-instrumentalist and visual artist, Eli Keszler has previously worked with Kevin Beasley, Oneohtrix Point Never, Skrillex, and more. For "Sync", Keszler will activate Lozano-Hemmer's immersive installation "Pulse Topology" with his distinctive drumming style, creating "a morphing geography of light." Keszler's performances at Gray Area can be understood as "Beat Minimalism'' for the 21st century. Making its west coast premiere as part of TECHS-MECHS, "Pulse Topology" is a mesmerizing work composed of 3,000 suspended lightbulbs that glimmer in tune with the heartbeats of different participants from the past. Pulse sensors detect and record new heartbeats, which replace the oldest ones, creating a memento mori.
