Surprise! Two new shows added to the 2024-25 season
We are pleased to announce the addition of two highly anticipated shows to our 2024-25 season: William Basinski and Bethan Kellough on Thursday, October 17, 2024, and Ant Hampton / Time Based Editions Borderline Visible - Collective Experience on Saturday, February 8, 2025. Both of these shows will take place at the UCLA Nimoy Theater.
The pair of performances by artists William Basinski and Bethan Kellough, presented in partnership with Fulcrum Arts and Chapman University, sparks a powerful conversation between art and science. In On Time, Out of Time, Basinki creates a one-of-a-kind sonic bed with recordings from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) that capturedbillion year old sonic impressions made by two colliding black holes. Kellough’s Still the Fragments Move is a new composition that follows the journey of ocean waves from sea to shore. Both pieces explore the profound connection between sound, vibrations, and waveforms with the human body.
The evening will be followed by a panel discussion with artists William Basinski, Evelina Domnitch, Dmitry Gelfand and experimental physicist Rana Adhikari, about their time together at LIGO at Caltech in 2016 and the artwork that resulted from this fruitful collaboration.
On February 8, 2025, we will present Borderline Visible - Collective Experience, an interactive event created by performance artist and writer Ant Hampton, that brings to life his photobook through a fusion of soundscape and narration. This 77-minute piece traces a journey from Lausanne to Izmir in 2022, accompanied by music from Oren Ambarchi and Perila, and explores themes of aspiration, history, and language. Each ticket includes a copy of the book Borderline Visible.
We invite you to experience this exciting season at Royce Hall, The United Theater on Broadway, Freud Playhouse, UCLA Little Theater, The Glorya Kaufman Dance Theater, and our new venue, the UCLA Nimoy Theater. Explore the season’s offerings and join us for these extraordinary events!
