Exhibition Statement as Preserved in the SUGS\/SITE Archives:<\/h3>\n
\n

the light comes in the name of the voice is an opera for an emptied theater. This seven-hour long musical work, told as a gallery installation using only light and sound, investigates the corners of things, the transparent, the more-than-human. Fabric forms perform the operatic narrative by catching light \u2014 they fade in and out of view alongside the original sound score. the light comes in\u2026 attempts to articulate the understandable and the imperceptible through the grammar of absence, the logic of ghosts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ghost Light: Remixes from the light comes in the name of the voice<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

October 28, 5:00 PM<\/span><\/p>\n

Program statement from the SUGs\/SITE archive:<\/span><\/p>\n

“In September 2020, eleven artists were sent fragments of audio from the light comes in the name of the voice, an opera and gallery installation. They were given the task of responding, recontextualizing, and remixing these materials into something new. The result is an album of new audiovisual work, an experiment in collaboration across pandemic, and a collective prayer. A team of remixers \u2014 composed of musicians, writers, farmers, performance artists, chefs, woodworkers, and more \u2014 carry the music in new directions and offer a collaborative look into the abyss.<\/p>\n

The full remix album is available for streaming\/purchasing at coreysmith.bandcamp.com.<\/p>\n

All proceeds from this album will be donated by the artist to Brave Space Alliance www.bravespacealliance.org<\/p>\n

Released October 28, 2020<\/p>\n

Remixes by Eric Capper, Nadine Dyskant-Miller, Clay Gonzalez, Jordan Knecht, Lia Kohl, Perry Maddox, Paige Naylor, Ethan T. Parcell, Seth Sexton, and Anthony Sims.
