A Mirror
Listening is not the job of the ears alone, it is a larger phenomenon: a collaboration between many aspects of ourselves.
A collaborative performance by Stephen Spaccarelli and Ben Neill.
Ben will be sounding an instrument constructed by Stephen.
Stephen Spaccarelli lives and works in the Hudson Valley where he was born. Growing up here, his work has been informed by the landscape, as well as the natural and industrial objects that litter its fields, hills and riversides. Working with wood, paint, steel, glass (and just about any material he comes across), he constructs sculptural paintings as well as interactive objects, musical instruments and videos. Please feel free to give him anything you might be throwing away.
