About the event
Join us for a free-admission evening at the museum featuring a guided tour and a live performance created in response to Mayumi Lake’s exhibition Unison: Obsessive Eyes.
The evening begins with a free guided museum tour starting promptly at 6:00 PM, offering visitors an in-depth look at the exhibition and selected works on view. The tour will last approximately 30–40 minutes and will provide curatorial context for Lake’s practice, themes of perception and repetition, and the conceptual framework behind the exhibition.
At 7:00 PM, the evening continues with a live performance collaboration by Mayumi Lake, Sara Zalek, and Toki. Developed in direct response to Unison: Obsessive Eyes, the performance extends the exhibition into a shared, time-based experience, weaving together visual, sonic, and performative elements to explore attention, resonance, and collective presence.
Admission is free, and seating/standing space for the performance will be available on a first-come basis.
RSVP needed.
