Sound Horizon: Zeena Parkins

Catch short sets by electric harp pioneer/composer Zeena Parkins—the first in a series of live gallery performances that will take place throughout the run of the exhibition Event Horizon. From sublimely expressive to decidedly discordant, her work explores the full sonic range of her instrument, incorporating a broad range of influences. A lightning-bolt performer whose “style defeats categorization” (New York Times), Parkins has worked and performed with Jim O’Rourke, Thurston Moore, Björk, Yoko Ono, and John Zorn, among many others.
