Tarek Atoui: The Organ Within at the Guggenheim Museum
Performing in the Guggenheim’s iconic rotunda, musicians and artists, including Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, improvise on a hybrid sculptural object by Lebanese artist Tarek Atoui. This new work builds on Atoui’s collaboration with instrument-makers Léo Maurel and Vincent Martial and their research into historical church pipe organs, modular synthesizers, and the sonic experiences of the deaf, engaging the museum’s acoustics to create a unique aural environment. A moderated conversation with Atoui and his collaborators will precede the performance. Supported by members of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s Middle Eastern Circle.
