Join 2022 Whitney Biennial artist Lisa Alvarado and the band Natural Information Society in the Hess Family Theater for a special performance and an artmaking project exploring sound.
Alvarado’s installation of suspended abstract paintings explores rhythm and pulse as a form of navigation. Her works in the Biennial consider the relationship between geography and the body in a moment of imbalance and transformation. In addition to being a visual artist, Alvarado plays the harmonium in the band Natural Information Society led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Joshua Abrams. The band’s performances are accompanied by Alvarado’s free-hanging paintings and use the artworks as a setting for a shared experience.
