PERFORMANCE
Sean Griffin: Cold Spring
Friday + Saturday, December 3 + 4, 2010, 8 PM
Theater
$15/10/5

A curious theatrical collision of hijacked music and theater — an abduction of the audience into an pageant of disturbing 20th century indulgences. Featuring actors, musicians, and dancers from LA, Chicago, Montreal, Minneapolis, NYC, and the Capital Region with industrial relics from the Schenectady Museum.

INSTALLATION
Michael J. Schumacher: Room Pieces Troy 2010

A building-wide sound installation utilizing the immense size, acoustics, and 100-plus speaker public address system to create a rich sonic environment for anyone passing through the building. A widely varied sound palette creates an ever-changing soundscape that is both pleasurable and unpredictable.
