Amant presents an evening of live performance in conjunction with SHELL, a long-term outdoor installation by Esben Weile Kjær that occupies our lot at 316 Ten Eyck Street. SHELL takes the form of a brutalist fairytale castle, merging historical references with the industrial textures of East Williamsburg to stage a space of tension between fantasy and ruin, spectacle and decay.
In that spirit, this evening brings Kjaer’s installation together with Concrete Husband, a performer whose work fuses historical and pop-cultural imagery with an experimental sensibility. Concrete Husband’s performances fold together raw electronics, manipulated samples, and live instrumentation into an unpredictable sonic terrain. For this program, he will premiere a new work that pushes his practice further into theatrical site-specificity.
Amant programs are always free. RSVPs are strongly encouraged. Doors for this program will open at 6:45pm on Friday, July 25 in our outdoor lot located at 316 Ten Eyck.
