Due to the inclement weather that is descending on the Hudson Valley this weekend, we will have to postpone tonight’s Sketch & Burlesque event.

It’s unfortunate that we have to postpone, but it’s for the safety of our guests and for our staff and models.

A new date will be announced soon. Thank you so much for your understanding.

✨NEW WORKSHOP✨

✨Register: Link In Bio✨

Botanical Resonance is an immersive soundscape exploring the intersection of nature, technology, meditative practice, and sensory immersion. Electrical activity from living plants is translated into music and woven together in real time with singing bowls, chimes, percussion, and ambient electronic sound.

Working improvisationally, the artist listens and responds to the shifting plant-generated composition, creating an evolving sonic exchange between plant, technology, instrument, and performer. Because the plants’ electrical activity and the artist’s responses continually change, no two performances unfold in exactly the same way.

Part performance, part meditation, and part experiment in deep listening, Botanical Resonance invites audiences to slow down and inhabit sound differently—to experience listening not simply as a passive act, but as a form of attention, curiosity, and connection. The work considers what might emerge when we create not only about the natural world, but in collaboration with it, opening space to contemplate our relationship with the living systems around us.

The Gallery will be CLOSED to the public to prep for installation. We will be reopening next weekend for the opening of our next exhibition, “Arcane Bodies”.
