Phantom Limb: 69°S.
Friday + Saturday, September 23 + 24, 8 PM
Tickets

69°S. is inspired by Ernest Shackleton's harrowing 1914 expedition to Antarctica. Phantom Limb unites puppetry, dance, film, history, and photography with a score that melds live junk-rock by Skeleton Key, recordings of the Kronos Quartet, and glacial field recordings to create a stunning vision of Antarctica's past, present, and future.

EXHIBITION
Céleste Boursier-Mougenot: untitled (series #3) + index (v.4)
Extended through November 5!
Monday – Saturday, 12–6 PM

Glasses and bowls touch as they float through pools of water. The fragile sounds of this chance music combine with music created from the building's network activity that plays on two computer-controlled pianos.
