SPEAKER PROJECT
By Juan Angel Chávez
September 23 - November 22, 2008
Stephen D. Paine Gallery
Massachusetts College of Art and Design
621 Huntington Avenue
Boston, MA 02115
Creative Boston-area musicians (all genres), DJs, spoken word, vocalists, and other performers will participate in a unique sculptural sound project at MassArt’s Stephen D. Paine Gallery. Chicago-based artist Juan Angel Chávez will install a multi-directional, multi-layer sound experience available for performances from September 23 to November 22. Comprised out of found material seen everyday, such as old billboard signs, wood panel siding and traffic cones, the large-scale speaker sculpture will turn the gallery into a laboratory for sound.
A diverse schedule of music genres performed from inside and outside of the speaker sculpture has been programmed by the Curatorial Programs Department at MassArt. The interactive sculpture is large enough to ensconce a 5-piece band inside and host over 250 audience members around the structure. During moments when no performance is scheduled, visitors are allowed to enter the sculpture and investigate sounds of their own.
Specifications of the Performance Space
The speaker project is a room that measures 25 ft in length, 16 ft in width and 10 ft in height. The sculpture contains four surfaces designed to be played and/or modify sound. On the two sides of the work, there are handcrafted speaker cones that measure 8 ft in diameter to an 18-inch point. One wall is made up entirely of traffic cones to amplify or muffle sound. Another wall contains a section of PVC pipes, glass bottles, sheet metal and other objects meant to be tapped to make different sounds.

Exhibition Dates: September 23 - November 22, 2008, Reception: Tuesday, September 23, 6 - 8 p.m
All performances are free and open to the public.
Gallery Hours
Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Wednesday 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
