Learn about the artist's distinctive and participatory approach to making music and art as he discusses past projects and the development of his current installation at SBMA. Rethinking the traditional audience/performer relationship, Kallmyer's workshops, installations, and site-based explorations of sound and listening have been presented in museums, concert halls, and other unexpected spaces.
Following the lecture, Chris Kallmyer will sign copies of his book All Possible Music.
