366 Minutes: talk at Wesleyan University

January 24, 2025
Filed under: · ·

We will be presenting an exhibition, and giving an accompanying talk, at Wesleyan University in Connecticut in February. The talk, “366 Minutes,” is presented by the Center for the Arts at Wesleyan, and will be on Monday, February 3, 2025, at Olin Library (Room 202A). Both the talk and the exhibition are related to Minute/Year, the ongoing work of ours which was installed in Wesleyan University’s Olin Library throughout 2024.

The exhibition, titled 366 Minutes (2025), will present the receipt-print spectrogram record of the data generated by the work throughout they year in which it was in Olin Library.

From the description of the talk published by the Center for the Arts at Wesleyan:

366 Minutes: A Year of KKTO’s Minute/Year in Olin Library

Artists Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty present a talk at the closing of their installation Minute/Year, which was installed in Olin Library throughout 2024. The U.S. premiere of the work was presented by Wesleyan’s World Music Archives and Music Library, in collaboration with Professor of Music and Director of Graduate Studies Paula Matthusen. The project used the repeated recording/playback/re-recording of sound in a space to reveal the resonant frequencies of the venue.

Thanks to Paula Matthusen, Aaron Bittel, and Jessica Steele for making these events possible.
