Thessia Machado: Livestreaming from New York City
6:00 - 7:00pm
CCRMA Live presents a livestreaming performance by Thessia Machado in New York City!
Thessia Machado is a visual/sound artist, instrument builder, and performer whose work plumbs the materiality of sound and its effect on our shifting perceptions of space. In improvised and composed performed works, her ensemble of things is augmented by a dynamically responsive and intentionally unpredictable human element.
Machado’s sculptures, drawings, and sound installations have been broadly exhibited both in the U.S. and Europe, most recently in a solo show at the Arts Club of Chicago in early 2019. She has performed with her handmade and modified instruments in both respectable institutions and in dilapidated basements and experimental spaces throughout Brooklyn and beyond.
She was awarded the Berlin Prize at the American Academy in Berlin and the Artists Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts in 2017.
