This site-specific sound performance explores collective memory and environment.
Please note that the sound work inside Susan Philipsz: If I With You Would Go will be turned off from February 29 through March 13. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Susan Philipsz creates sound installations that explore ways in which the emotive and psychological properties of song alter a listener's perception of place and time. Hearing her disembodied voice — in settings where you least expect to have such an intimate experience — sets up a tension between the listener's private memories and the communal associations of song. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Philipsz is the 2010 recipient of the prestigious Turner Prize, an annual award bestowed on the best contemporary British artist under age 50.
