Friday, September 12th at 8pm, ISSUE presents the second 2025 Artist-In-Residence commission by multimedia artist Jackson-Pratt at the 22 Boerum Pl. theater. Working at the intersection of sculpture and sound, he continues his ongoing exploration of visual art as audio object—and vice versa—through a new durational performance featuring a microphonic sculpture at its center.

This new work builds on his Winter performance at ISSUE, The Microscope’s Slide: Live Painting Music No. 8 (for T.M.). Shifting from reactive canvas to a new sculptural centerpiece—cast from repurposed audio equipment in resin and plastic—Jackson-Pratt draws attention to the porous line between fine art and sound art with DIY ethos and questions of disposability, labor, and permanence. The piece unfolds as a four-channel composition made from hand-modified electronics moving between dense saturation and lightness, engaging the acoustic idiosyncrasies of ISSUE’s home theater.
