Join the hosts of WDNA Radio's Brainville crew as they present a special site-specific live transmission into Brainville from Gary Simmons's sculptural installation, Recapturing Memories of the Black Ark. Enjoy a series of activations with a special live performance "conduction" piece composed and arranged in real-time by Professor Nicole Yarling and the Brainville High School Jazz Band.
Recapturing Memories of the Black Ark consists of a stage and speakers that, when activated, serve as a venue for live performances. The speakers are encased with wood salvaged from the streets of New Orleans's Tremé neighborhood in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The objects bear the spray-painted traces of that history, just as they hold the memory of past performance activations.
