[August 23rd] LIVE PERFORMANCE – The Plane(s) by Rebekkah Palov

DATES AND TIMES: Saturday August 23rd, 2025 @ 3:00 pm

FREE

LOCATION: Harvestworks Art and Technology Program Building 10a, Nolan Park, Governors Island

On August 23rd The Plane(s) will perform an enchanting long-format (40min) improvisation in the quadraphonic audio format. “Activating and responding to this four speaker field/space, I discovered that the sound needed instability – it needed a sensibility, not lines; it needed duration, it needed to track precarious intention, vibrations and atmospheres.”

The Plane(s) is a solo, recording and performance, sound project by Rebekkah Palov.

Has anyone ever groped their way through totally unexplored territory, such unknown darkness, with such assurance? Shapes bubble up from silence as surprised to be there as you are to hear them. Are they physical objects in space, perhaps even living tissue, or are they purely virtual, mere sonic images? Is there a difference? This is how the world sounds now, if you can hear it.
