ABOUT THIS EVENT

On view through Tuesday to Saturday, 1:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m., October 19-November 2.

The encounter between a musical composition by John Luther Adams and an architectural intervention by Diogo Aguiar Studio, in a game of correspondences that both evokes the landscapes of Alaska and invites us to follow the paths suggested by the sound - between loss, longing, consolation or even peace. A commission by Aveiro 2024 – Portuguese Capital of Culture, with musical curation by Martim Sousa Tavares.

His music perfectly echoes the landscape he loves: impersonal, relentless, larger than human scale, yet gorgeous, a quiet chaos of colors, suffused with light. It’s not a climate everyone could live in. But for those who want to bathe their ears in an aural aurora borealis while staying warm inside, it’s a spiritual odyssey well worth taking. - Kyle Gann
