SF MOMA Haptic experience and performance: Naama Tsabar’s Works on Felt
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, or SFMOMA, invites the blind and low vision community to experience the synergy of art, sound, and movement in a new performance composed by local musicians Dylan Edrich, Jenna Flohr, and artist Naama Tsabar that engages sculptural works from the artist’s ongoing series Work on Felt. Tsabar subverts our expectations of the seemingly soft sculptures by inserting carbon fiber and epoxy into felt to create a rigid hybrid material that holds its shape as it retains the tension of a piano string tethered to a guitar-tuning peg. These artworks defy the place of felt in instruments as a silencer and become the resonating chamber itself.
To start the afternoon, join us in the galleries at 3:00 pm for a highlights tour of the What Matters exhibition with Media Arts Curatorial Associate Karen Cheung.
SFMOMA is located at 151 3rd. Street, San Francisco.
