Frances Barrett expands the solo commissioning focus of the Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship to present new sonic compositions and live performances by multiple artists.
In anatomy, “meatus” is a natural opening. Using the gallery space as a canal, Meatus becomes a performative staging of the body as an intense, immersive, and sensory environment of sound and light. A body into which the audience may enter to encounter the physical, sensual, and critical experience of listening and consider the embodied and relational practices that extend the mappings of our physical forms.
