About the artists:

Lia Kohl is a Chicago-based composer and sound artist. Her wide-ranging practice includes composition, performance, installation, improvisation, and collaboration. A trained cellist, Kohl also incorporates synthesizers, field recordings, toy instruments, and radios into her work. Her work centers curiosity and patience, an exploration of mundane sounds that speak to their specific time and place. 

Xiaolu Wang ( x140lu ) is a video artist, writer, and performer. Originally from the Ningxia Muslim Autonomous Region in northwestern China, Wang discovered their love for cinema while working at a video rental store in the US to learn English. They consider cinema a practice of togetherness, and the act of translation a reclamation of liminal space. Their work explores language, misunderstandings, transformation, memory, friendship, and poetry through a variety of mediums. 

Hannah Marcus is a dance artist, arts administrator, and teacher. Her work considers the body as a site of memory, infrastructure, care, and lineage. Marcus’ research finds form in collaborative performance and video work, often exploring the nexus between movement and technology, sound, language, visual design, and site-specificity.

Sofia Carbonara is a percussionist and performance-maker based in Melbourne, Australia. Sofia creates performances using the vibraphone, video, audio, and research. Their use of everyday objects, phone call recordings, recreations of familiar sounds, and data set interpretations in intermedia works brings together music and technology to create new worlds.

Hannah Marcus is a dance artist who creates and performs work in conversation with sound, space, language, and objects. She uses improvisation to find form and meaning, often exploring memory, intimacy, and the materiality of the body.

In two weeks we present a new iteration of bones fragile bones fractured at @coprosperitychicago ! Milo and I have been incubating, writing, sifting, tearing apart, and growing the project through Hyde Park Art Center’s Bridge Program over the last couple of months. It’s been exciting to be surrounded by a cohort of 9 other artists whose range of practices and creative inquiry inspire me. What the heck!

Particularly stoked to be joined by @plzsendpzza on electronics & sax for this version of the project— they’ve elevated the piece tremendously, and I knew it would be a game changer to bring them on to support Milo & I’s existing sound & movement. And then some!! x 12 !!
