Eidolon, a 12 member acoustic ensemble, will present compositions they have been developing in the bank vaults at 14 Wall Street. All five spaces of the bank vault in our basement level rehearsal space will be used; one composition, written by an ensemble member, assigned to each room. Sound will overlay, shift, and at times pause, as performers travel through each space and interact with timbers reflected in each space. A few timed sections during the three-hour concert will be designated for a tutti section, where all performers gather to play a single piece. For more information about the Eidolon, please visit their website.
View our Swing Space supporters here. Project Space at 14 Wall Street is generously donated by Capstone Equities.

Untitled Corner is a site-specific collaboration examining memory loss, pattern recognition, and perceptual faculties as they apply to the human body in public space. In collaboration with visual artist Daniel Arsham, Jonah Bokaer, and Judith Sanchez Ruiz’s piece employs site-responsive architecture, objects, lighting, and other media to create the illusion of an expanded space. Original sound score by Alexis Georgopoulos/ARP.
Jonah Bokaer and Judith Sanchez Ruiz create performance situations that could not veritably exist in physical space: this will happen through the use of built spaces by Daniel Arsham, including a 3-dimensional cube, offering the ability to transport movement to different locations that appear to be just outside of the audience.
