Guillermo Galindo Presents Sonic Borders

Experimental composer, sonic architect, performance artist, and visual media artist Guillermo Galindo joins us for a talk about his work Sonic Borders. By showing moments of disruption on the land, Galindo’s work introduces a complicated look at policing the boundary.

The extent of the work of experimental composer, sonic architect, performance artist, and visual media creator Guillermo Galindo, redefines the conventional limits between music, the art of music composition, and the intersections between all art disciplines, politics, and spirituality.

Galindo’s artistic practice emerges from the crossroads between sound, sight, and performance and includes everything from orchestral compositions, instrumental works, and opera, to sculpture, visual arts, computer interaction, electro-acoustic music, filmmaking, instrument building, three-dimensional installation, and live improvisation. His acoustic compositions include major chamber and solo works, two symphonies commissioned by the UNAM (Mexico university symphony orchestra), the Oakland Symphony Orchestra and choir, and two operas.

Galindo is a Senior Adjunct Professor at California College of the Arts, Stanford’s 2018 Mohr Visiting artist as well as the 2019 Thomas P. Johnson Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Rollins Cornell Arts Museum.

High Desert Test Sites: Learning From What We Are Not

Join us in welcoming Acting Director, Vanesa Zendejas, and Programming Manager Elena Yu from High Desert Test Sites for a conversation about the Joshua Tree, CA based experiment where contemporary art converges with the desert. As a conceptual entity, HDTS is dedicated to “learning from what we are not” and the belief that intimately engaging with the high desert community can offer new insights and perspectives, often challenging art to take on new areas of relevancy.

Per local, State, and CDC health guidelines for Covid-19, the Museum requires that masks are worn while indoors unless actively eating or drinking.

This program will also be streamed live via Zoom Webinar for all registrants.
