Event RSVPs do not guarantee access to a device. The headsets will not fit over worn prescription eyewear; guests requiring vision correction should wear contact lenses if able to do so. Medusa, directed by scientist Yoyo Munk, is an ambitious project developed by artist collective Tin Drum in collaboration with architect Sou Fujimoto. Bridging art, science, music, and technology, it comprises a unique and evolving mixed reality experience that envelopes visitors within a new realm of physicality, visuality, and sound. Viewed through optically transparent glasses, Medusa imposes thousands of hanging vertical columns onto the Main Hall of Pioneer Works, responding to the collective behavior of the space’s visitors. Sound is an equally key component, with a changing soundscape accompanying the experience. In its first iteration, Medusa featured a melodic progression, composed by the legendary musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, that was spatialized and combined with recordings of undersea drones. At Pioneer Works, Brooklyn-based composer Kelly Moran will contribute to the evolving soundscape by expanding upon Sakamoto’s score with a new original composition and durational performance.What Is Psychedelic, co-presented by Mishkin Gallery and Pioneer Works, marks the first institutional survey of New York-born artist Aura Rosenberg. This two-venue exhibition traces the artist’s trajectory from early paintings of the 1970s to her more recent endeavors in photography, film, sculpture, and installation. Throughout her five decades long career in New York and Berlin, Rosenberg has moved through diverse styles, preferring to work thematically and serially while often returning to ideas from past projects. The exhibition also includes several previously unseen works, and Rosenberg’s collaborations with artists like Mike Kelley, Mary Heilmann, Louise Lawler and Ei Arakawa, all of which chronicle the breadth of her multifaceted career.
