May 9 – June 6
Sholeh Asgary’s Qanat is an interactive sound and light installation named after the ancient Iranian underground water channel system. Asgary amplifies the resonant qualities of a traditional rug with the sound of water, as a pendulum microphone hung above picks up the amplified sounds of the rug, movements, and room tone, creating a live feedback loop. Visitors are invited to sit, lay or stand on the rug, affecting the transmission of sound throughout the gallery. The exhibition also includes a series of embossed prints that are topographical mappings created by Asgary’s breath and a video work that references water, transmission, and incommunicability. Qanat reminds us that we are all born into the comforting darkness of sound and water.
