INTERSECTION
A sound-based, site-specific installation by Pat Badt and Scott Sherk Curated by Creighton Michael February 10-March 2, 2012
The LAB: GALLERY is pleased to present Intersection, a sound-based, site-specific installation by Pat Badt and Scott Sherk.
Badt and Sherk’s creative practice involves cultivating awareness of the qualities of specific spaces through the realignment of the senses. This installation, Intersection, concentrates on the stop and go of the midtown traffic outside the gallery, focusing on the pulse and energy of the city. A hanging string column cycles between stillness and movement, while real time video sonograms and spectrograms are projected on to the gallery walls making the sound of the intersection visual.

All works of art and performances in THE LAB:GALLERY are shown within the confines of the space, and are intended to be viewed by the audience from the sidewalk. This event is free and viewable 24/7.
