Response Project with the International Foundation for Contemporary Music

November 15

Saturday, November 15

Noon–1:30 p.m.

Free and open to the public.

Join The Carnegie for a Response Project with the International Foundation for Contemporary Music led by Brianna Matzke.

This Response Project explores nostalgia through solo piano music, sounds, images, and words in response to The Carnegie’s current exhibition: All Four Seasons in Equal Measure.

The performance will inform a conversation about memory, the cyclical nature of time, and how art can carry traces of our past selves, and how those traces shift as we revisit them. This project isn’t so much about explaining nostalgia as it is about sitting with it, noticing its shape, and letting it blur the line between then and now.

All Four Seasons in Equal Measure brings together six artists, all of whom live and work in Kentucky, whose works highlight their intimate relationship with place and the natural world. Their creative output celebrates the beauty of the environment and demonstrates their concern for its precarities through painting, works on paper, sculpture, video, and installation.

The exhibition continues on the second floor along with an activation that points to the history of this building as a library. A transitory space at the top of the rear stairs has been transformed into a reading room, populated with books recommended by the artists and copies of Walden.

All Four Seasons in Equal Measure was curated by guest curator Monique Long in collaboration with The Carnegie.

Artists: Britany Baker, Kiah Celeste, Shohei Katayama, Gibbs Rounsavall, Rachel Singel, Roy Taylor
