Friday, November 15th at 8pm, ISSUE is pleased to present the third iteration of Surge from 2024 Artist-In-Residence Joni. Throughout the course of her residency, the artist has presented work-in-progress showings and new compositions of incredibly revealing, intimate and visceral sound work. The project builds to its conclusion as it reworks recordings taken during Joni’s surgeries by her doctors - per her request - and reinterprets the material to create an entirely new “body” of sound. Surge mirrors the surgical dismemberment of the source material through live compositions, sampling and looping them in an attempt to create arrangements that transcend and harmonize the body with the source material. The culminating event will take place at The Space at Irondale in Fort Greene, Brooklyn–an expansive environment, whose notion that theatre can lead us to a greater understanding of who we are best suits the Surge vision and experience.
