Co-presented with University of Washington’s DXArts SPAM New Media Festival, Open In, Open Up, Open Out is a sonic experience created by CHARI in dialogue with and reflection upon Raúl de Nieves: A window to the see, a spirit star chiming in the wind of wonder… currently on view at the Henry. Holding in mind de Nieves’s evocation of realms of the material, metaphysical, spiritual, and ancestral, Open In, Open Up, Open Out is both embodied experiment and installation that encourages deep listening, reflection, and observation from the audience. Using sound, field recordings, and vocal incantations, CHARI creates a sound world between worlds and performs within it, activating de Nieves’ exploration of how we transform as individuals who move between comfort and discomfort, known and unknown, and around again.
