  • Julianne-Claire, site-specific installation

    As a site-specific artist, Julianne-Claire accentuates entry points to unspoken conversations; the intermediary spaces of memory, reference, and all other locations of internal reflection and projection; where a vivid fascination with connection points, cosmology, and the structural and ideological constructions of space and identity form ideas into physical embodiment.

Main Event Sat. August 8th : 1pm - 5pm

  • Soressa Gardner

    Soressa collaborates with novelists and poets, setting their words to electronic soundscapes or songs, as the material demands. For Squarewaves, Soressa will perform two pieces: Kaspoit! by Dennis E. Bolen is a novel of the times, told in the language of the times. It is a pure exploration of the 'banality of evil', chilling and outrageous. Homecoming and Heart Monitor by Evie Christie is a collection of poems that "traverse the difficult distance between far-flung places in the province of love" (Paul Vermeerch)
