RSVP
Duo performance at 7:30pm at The Lab
Preceded by a performance by Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste of “Unmarked Car” at 6pm at The Wattis Institute

Due to the renovations at The Lab, we expect the space to not be usable on the originally scheduled date. In-line with the Wattis’s ongoing research season on the topic of LABOR, we would like to keep this performance at the historic San Francisco Labor Temple, and have decided to move the event to 7:30pm on Tuesday, March 10. The performance at The Lab will be preceded by a performance by Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste at The Wattis Institute at CCA at 6pm.

Artists Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste and Evicshen collaborate to create a sonic space that reframes sound as both a tool for subverting power and a site of collective possibility. Toussaint-Baptiste’s repurposing of a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), a technology commonly used by military and police forces for crowd control, becomes a mechanism for gathering and collective experience. In dialogue with him are Evicshen’s self-built instruments, which, through physically exertive performance, explore the affective dimensions of noise, creating a soundscape that oscillates between chaos and control. Toussaint-Baptiste and Evicshen’s performance is co-presented by The Lab and The Wattis Institute.

Audience members are welcome to join us on the campus of the California College of the Arts at 6pm for Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste’s performance Unmarked Car, and travel afterward to The Lab by foot (approx. 30 minutes) or by taking the 22 MUNI Bus from 16th St. & Wisconsin St. to Mission St. The performance at The Lab will start approximately 30-45 minutes after the prior performance concludes.
