Pia Pack - What Artists Listen To podcast
What Artists Listen To podcast and LIVE event!
After being interviewed by Pia for her podcast she said she wanted to do a LIVE version somewhere. I said- hey do it during the weekends while my show is up at Chimento! And the plan was hatched! On March 24, 31 and April 7 Pia will host the LIVE version in Chimento Contemporary's courtyard with some really stellar guests. Click Here to RSVP and reserve a seat. What Artists Listen To is creating an archive of the soundtracks to artists's lives. This combines the music the artists listen to with an interview about their practise. Listened to as a whole the recordings serve to create a sense of connection between these individual artists working in their studios.
The project includes a podcast which is updated weekly.

March 24- May 5, 2018 Solo Exhibition at Chimento Contemporary
Schoenstadt tackles the relationship between situational context and individual perspective in a series of new mixed media works. Continuing to explore human impulses and issues behind our built environment through her signature language of symbolic architecture and spatially engaged installation, Schoenstadt has devised a body of work addressing the tensions between context (cultural and greater sociopolitical relations) and perspective (subjective individual view). Her new works lean out from the wall to claim sculptural space with delicate suspension.

Schoenstadt references both iconic buildings (look for a shout-out to the Forum when the art is in place) and lesser-known structures in the area. The architecture love extends to the blue “snap lines,” which represent a place’s timeline as well as the phone lines, traffic markings, and, now, train tracks that bisect the area.
