Spring Open House and Exhibition Opening

The Percy Grainger Society is pleased to announce its 5th annual Spring Open House at the Percy Grainger Home & Studio, 7 Cromwell Place, White Plains, New York. This year’s Open House will feature the opening reception for Restless Corners, a site-specific art installation. The event, free to the public, is on Sunday, April 6, from 2 pm until 4 pm. A question and answer with the artist will take place at 2:30. Space is limited and registration is requested. Please register here.

Restless Corners, created Joel Sherry, is a series of sculptural video objects placed throughout the house. Inspired by both the building and Grainger’s life, the works incorporate performance, sound, photography, drawing, found objects and Percy Grainger’s own musical compositions. The sculptures integrate reclaimed monitors and projectors using video played in an atmosphere of looping movement, light and sound. In creating Restless Corners, Joel Sherry and and members of the dance performance group Teatolocal (Joel Sherry, Cynthia Bueschel Svigals, Michelle Kelly Wurf) collaborated to connect diverse audiences fusing visual art, performance, and music in surprising combinations. The exhibition explores how individuals move through space, impacting the environment and objects of that space, leaving traces of our brief time, creating an imprint on the physical presence of space.

Restless Corners was made possible by a generous Individual Artist-Arts Alive Grant through ArtsWestchester.
