On May 19th,
Maria Chavez (CRF 2016) gave the first of this season’s full-length residents’
presentations. Chavez, an abstract turntablist, sound artist, and DJ, presented
clips from her recent sound installations, including the Rain of Applause for
INKONST in Sweden (2014), Sound Bleed @ the Kitchen in New York (2015), and
Wind Instruments @ the Block in Marfa, Texas (2016). Chavez then gave a live turntable
performance using a collection of vinyl purchased that afternoon in Perugia.
