Night Run: Three Early Works focuses on three sound works from Kristin Oppenheim recorded between 1992 and 1995 in her Brooklyn studio. Over the last three decades, Oppenheim has composed vocal works not as a musician, but as an artist working in gallery and museum contexts. In each recording, Oppenheim’s voice is the sole medium, forming repetitious phrases half-sung and half-spoken to compose disciplined but haunting environments that drift back and forth, panning across the stereo field. Each week of the exhibition a different work will be presented in the gallery’s main space as the sole entity occupying the room.
