Performance: Cassette Memories
2022-06-11 15:00 - 15:30, 2022-06-11 18:00 - 18:30, 2022-06-12 15:00 - 15:30 UTC
Cassette Memories (2004 – ongoing) is a site-specific performance by the Japan-based artist and composer Aki Onda, which will be presented in several community gardens in the Lower East Side. For each iteration of the performance, Onda plays field recordings he considers “sound memories,” collected over the last three decades. The performances occur at places saturated with their own memories; on this occasion, Onda will lead the audience on an auditory tour through multiple gardens in the Lower East Side, a neighborhood he inhabited for several decades. Cassette Memories is an archaeological dig for the history, psyche, and energy of these spaces. The performances are presented in conjunction with Life Between Buildings, a group exhibition at MoMA PS1, which features Onda’s installation Silence Prevails: Lower East Side Community Gardens During the Pandemic.
