The Glass House presents Night Sounds, a new performance series that parallels the Night (1947–2015) on-site sculpture-in-residence program. Guests will join Alexis Georgopoulos, the composer and artist who performs as ARP, Night (1947–2015) guest-curator Jordan Stein, and Glass House Director Henry Urbach for a live on-site performance and reception. A new artist whose work engages the current sculpture will be selected to perform with each of the seven iterations of the Night (1947-2015) exhibition, a series of works by contemporary artists that contend with the legacy of Alberto Giacometti’s absent Night and Johnson’s architectural opus. Night Sounds #2, Friday, May 10, 2013, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., will feature the performance of Still Life (Glass, Grass, Sky, Sand) by ARP alongside Tauba Auerbach's sculpture Gnomon/Wave Fulgurite (2013).
