ICAT Playdate — Monuments Dissected: Engaging Public Art and Contested Spaces
April 22, 2022
Co-created by Meredith Drum, Annie Stevens, Tanner Upthegrove, John Irrera, and Rachel Rugh with music composed by Grisha Coleman and Marcus Norris, and graduate assistance from Bryce Burrell.
Monuments Dissected is a documentary initiative centered on a growing collection of interviews about the past, present, and future of confederate and colonial monuments in the US. The installation invites close listening to sections of the interviews set to music by Coleman as you imagine and draw new forms of public art. The space will be altered by three performances featuring live music composed for the project by Norris, with percussion and string by Stevens, Irrera, and their students. Rugh and special guests will offer choreographed movement on Saturday night. Upthegrove produced the spatial sound design.
