Opening Coccyx

a chemiluminescent performance by Dmitry Gelfand and Evelina Domnitch with live music by Richard Chartier

Friday, May 19
8:00pm
Tietjens Hall, Washington University, 6500 Forsyth Boulevard

The New Music Circle presents a new live exhibition by noted Russian artists Dmitry Gelfand and Evelina Domnitch, in collaboration with famed electronic music composer Richard Chartier.

Known for their use of chemical reactions to make beautiful and unique pieces of art, the Russian duo has created an exhibit that shows how the contact between two liquids causes light formations to swim through the darkness of a given space. In Opening Coccyx, bursts of light are emitted as a result of a chemical reaction which occurs as drops of phosphoric solution fall into a pool of sodium hypo-chloride, creating luminescent rain, as a 12 channel sound installation by Chartier is performed. Because these ebbing traces of chemiluminescence (a light-emitting chemical reaction) are the observer's only spatial references, an expanded awareness of the environment overcomes the observer. Gradually, the very notion of physical space is overturned by a far broader imaginary terrain.

Admission is $12, students with valid ID pay $6.  For more information, email us at info@newmusiccircle.org
