Asian Art Museum’s $10 Thursday Nights (SF)

The Artists Drawing Club is an interdisciplinary public program series that invites local contemporary artists to use the museum as a platform. The Artists Drawing Club is not about the act of drawing, but drawing connections between ideas, times, cultures, and the broader world we occupy.

Artist Hayv Kahraman highlights the friction between memory and narrative through her personal history as an Iraqi émigré first to Europe and ultimately the United States. New works recall a recurring sonic theme in the artist’s most taunting memories — the warning call of the siren.

Sound as a modality of power is well ingrained in military strategy, with long range acoustic devices (LRADs) transmitting localized, extremely high decibel noise, literally using sound as a weapon. The violence of sound and the ways in which people resist it are at the heart of her current work.
