Correspond.

Call and response.

From its roots, the word correspondence means “together we answer.” Correspondence requires a call and response. In 1971, James Tenney sent Pauline Oliveros Swell Piece No.2 on a postcard. She responded the year of his death with Blue Heron: In Memory of James Tenney. For this month’s performance, Katie Eikam and James Ilgenfritz give their musical responses to these two works while silhouetted in meditative light. This month’s visual artist, Adee Roberson, creates work that “weaves sonic and familial archives, with landscape, technicolor, rhythm, form, and spirit.” Her risograph, hot pink palms, features people in pairs sillhouetted against pink palm trees.
