Art's Birthday Broadcast Event - Tomorrow!

To celebrate the 1,000,050th birthday of art, Instant Places will be hosting  a live broadcast from the gallery beginning tomorrow afternoon, ending around 12:00 am.  

Laura and Ian will be joined by local sound artists where they will be activating multiple gallery surfacing with image and sounds transformations, that will be broadcast live around the world. The duo have taken numerous "sound snapshots", including audio from the third floor of the gallery during construction. Local guests are invited to add layers to existing sound shots to create new and exciting pieces.
