Event Details:
This fall, Cantor Arts Center debuts Forms & Frequencies, a Thursday night music series featuring musicians and sound artists from the Bay Area and beyond with special evening hours for audiences to visit exhibitions in the Cantor Arts Center.
Join us on Thursday, December 12 in front of Rodin’s Gates of Hell for a performance by Evicshen, who creates appendage-like instruments and objects. These sculptural elements embody the artist’s interest in the tension created by opposition: control and chaos, the unique and mass-produced, the practical and absurd, and expand the material possibilities for creating sound.
This series is programmed in conjunction with Spirit House, an exhibition featuring contemporary artists of Asian descent who challenge the boundary between life and death, and asks the question: what does it mean to speak to ghosts, inhabit haunted spaces, be reincarnated, or enter different dimensions? Whether you’re a fan of live music, a lover of art, or simply looking for a unique night out, Forms & Frequencies promises an unforgettable experience that resonates with all your senses.
All public programs at the Cantor Arts Center are always free! Space for this program is limited; advance registration is recommended.
About the Artist
Victoria Shen (Evicshen) is a sound artist based in San Francisco. Shen's sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her personal identity, her body, is the space her work utilizes to restructure sonic meaning. Shen’s multimedia practice extends beyond composition/performance to include installation and sculpture. Shen’s approach to deconstructing notions of “materiality, value, and mass production” both integrate and re-contextualize the readymade and assemblage.
