somewhere else is meant to take you out of your current setting, out of your current moment, out of your current focus to somewhere else. It is designed to be experienced only from outside the gallery. Stand on the circle and your background will fade away as you hear the sounds from somewhere else.
Join us for a streamed discussion about the work on February 24.
There are over 50 one minute recordings of different beaches that play onto the street using the glass windows as speakers. The visual captures the outlines of your features and uses feedback to preserve the shape of your movement in hopes of slowing down time a little.
Please note: Volume is turned down during business hours. For the full experience, please visit the Window Gallery at the following times:
- Monday–Friday: 8am–9am, 5pm–10pm
- Saturday–Sunday: 8am–10pm
