Ann Hamilton: table of contents
Urban Video Project

Price: Free
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

World premiere of table of contents (2013-2014), a new piece by celebrated multimedia artist, Ann Hamilton.

When composer David Lang wrote the score for his notoriously difficult piece, "Table of Contents", he envisioned a nearly-impossible synchronization of two percussionists. After seeing a performance in 2011, Hamilton imagined attaching an array of low-resolution mini surveillance cameras to the hands of the percussionists and instruments. In the resulting piece, Hamilton's "table of contents", the cameras occupy the gap between hearing and seeing. The edit generates a counter-rhythm--a back-and-forth that brings us intimately into "impossible" virtuosity.
