About this Event

UChicago composers and sound practitioners present installed works across the spaces of the Green Line Performing Arts Center and Arts Incubator. On Saturday evening, a sequence of short live sets (approximately 15 minutes each) by UChicago students, faculty, and Chicago sound practitioners will take place in the E&A Theater, with works also on display in the foyer. Open Studios give visitors the freedom to wander, listen, and engage with works in progress. All are welcome. Full participants’ list available via QR code on SPIL’s website.


About Critical Sounds

All events are free and open to the public.

Presented in partnership with Arts + Public Life, the Franke Institute for the Humanities, Patchbent, and Experimental Sound Studio.
