CAROLYN PENNYPACKER RIGGS – DISTANCE DUET

Through an interdisciplinary practice that incorporates sound, sculpture, scent, and collective performance, artist/composer Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs creates new myths and their paraphernalia: hymns, relics, costume, instruments, rites and rituals for an alternate past, and still-possible future. Riggs is the creator of the site-responsive performance ensemble, Song of Eurydice and leads Community Chorus, an experimental, drop-in chorus. She has presented work at museums and biennials/triennials across the US and her work has been featured in X-TRA, New York Times Magazine, Artforum, Rookie, and NYLON. Using the lens of a geologic time scale (“deep time”), Distance Duet considers the intersecting griefs of climate emergency, isolation, and division, as catalysts for transformation and connection. In the piece, multiple narratives occur simultaneously, overlap and interleave spatially and sonically. Presented at The Integratron, Sunday, November 12, 2023, 6:30pm, 7:45pm, Click HERE for ticketing.
