Life is so much more important than art, but then art’s importance comes when it’s a tool for life—when it makes life more available for us.” Richard Tuttle for Art21, Richard Tuttle: Staying Contemporary, episode #237, July 22, 2016

Sounds Modern presents Electric EARth: music to celebrate the art of Doug Aitken, in the auditorium at the Modern on Saturday, June 10 at 2 pm. Sounds Modern celebrates the multiple, shifting, and technically mediated perspectives of Aitken’s art with music by Crumb, Cage, Xenakis, and others that places the listener in a variety of imaginary worlds. From the deep ocean to the center of a charcoal fire, travel with us deep inside the sound worlds of the Electric EARth.
Admissions is free to the public.

The show, with guest artists Wild Rumpus Circus from Wisconsin and the children performers from Amphibian’s Tad-Poles outreach program, celebrates the way stilts are used in traditional dance in various countries around the world, and it will include costumes, storytelling, dance, and music influenced by different cultures: Chinese acrobatics, Mexican folk dances, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms.
