Complimentary light bites/refreshments will be provided from 6-6:30PM.
Marcè Nixon-Washington is a ceramic artist based in Pittsburgh, PA. Marcè investigates ceramics as an archival material to ‘permatize’ personal and cultural history. Marcè will guide attendees through a make and take workshop inspired by John Rhoden’s “Determined to Be”.
Later, join artist Petra Floyd as she sculpts a sound space in response to John Rhoden’s sculptures and travels. Kalimbrrd Sonic Tour is a one-hour gallery experience marking each decade of John Rhoden’s 60-year career. Kalimbrrd is a an ongoing, multisite, and participatory sound sculpture, in which visitors are invited to play amplified toys and makeshift instruments to sonically reshape art galleries.
