Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Lark Chang-Yeh

Join us Friday, May 8th for an improvisational sound installation and performance featuring artist and musician Joel St. Julien. St. Julien will activate the David Ireland House in a musical dialogue that responds to Trina Michelle Robinson’s parlor room installation, Liberation Through Redaction. This performance marks the beginning of a series of activations taking place between 500 Capp Street and Root Division—the two venues hosting Robinson’s dual-sited exhibition, Open Your Eyes to Water.

Joel St. Julien (he/him) is a Haitian-American composer, sound and video artist based in San Francisco. Joel has written music for documentaries, short / feature films, podcasts, and dance.  He is a firm believer in experimentation/fusion with acoustic and electronic elements in sound oscillating through escapism and the mysticism of the present tense: music both being art and spiritual practice.
