Aluminum Foil Mountain and Worm Man
Aimee Sones and Ryan Agnew in collaboration with the Learning Site Audible Dwelling

Made of an everyday household material, Aimee Sones’s Aluminum Foil Mountain is a sculpture and day-long action that questions notions of planned obsolescence, consumption of natural resources and conflicted intersections of mining and agriculture. Sones collaborates with the physical qualities of the Learning Site Audible Dwelling to create a large, temporary sculpture of aluminum foil over one speaker house. Ryan Agnew’s Worm Man consists of sound recordings of the usually unheard and out-of-sight labors of worms churning and fortifying the earth. The sounds are amplified from both speaker houses. Agnew’s evening performance across the asphalt parking lot draws on concepts of displacement and habitation in Audible Dwelling.

Location: Audible Dwelling in the parking lot on CCAD campus at corner of N. Washington and E. Long Streets Map
Time: dawn to dusk

Adult Storytime with Matt Carmean and Ryan Agnew, Sunday April 25 7PM

Modern Times a performance by Colin McDonald, Saturday April 10 6-10PM

An action has been formed - one that requires human effort to produce a product no more productive than its previous state. The machine and worker have created a system that is extraordinarily efficient at what it does, but what it does has no purpose.

The performance is durational; feel free to attend at any time between 6-10 PM.

We hope to see you there!
