the subtle bodies seriespresented by adam overton and friends, wherever and whenever
the subtle bodies series is a sporadic investigation involving artists, performers, choreographers, and sound artists working to facilitate subtle, barely-noticed experiments in sound, movement, action, and energy within public spaces. Ranging from performances and workshops to activities and rumors, these subtle occurrences are lightly announced, barely present, and open to any who might care to notice or participate. The series invites those involved to explore more fully the range of motion to which we're entitled in the various public spaces and governed environments we regularly inhabit, while striving to live in peaceful parallel with the everyday activity of our surroundings.

Update: the subtle bodies series is currently expanding out of the institutional framework of the Machine Project residency at the Hammer, into the various environments we inhabit every day in Los Angeles and beyond. We plan to continue exploring the range of freedoms we have to act spontaneously, creatively, and peacefully as subtle visitors, wherever we are. Stay tuned for more in this series...

ongoing this month...
Johanna Reed will be available to smell at the Hammer Museum, every Wednesday, March 3 - March 17, from 2-3 pm. In the performance Interactions (Scent), Johanna asks you to observe her through scent and then, immediately afterward, document your observations in writing. How you gather your data and the form your record takes is up to you. (In exchange for your document, you will be given a small booklet to take home.)

Kadet Kuhne: (Not) Recording the Hammer Saturday February 6, 1-2PM
Kadet Kuhne will be staging a listening exercise which aims to draw the attention of the eyes to the ears of those that notice her. While she slowly traverses the grounds with a shotgun microphone in hand, the illusion of recording inspires an active engagement with the sonic subtleties of the Hammer museum.
