Promontory XV
CRITIC’S PICK
Sat., Oct., 18
In 2010, self-taught multimedia artist Hormuz Minina painted himself gold and spent the night tucked into the root system of a majestic oak tree, which he was trying to protect. This Saturday, the Mumbai-born co-founder of the Imagination Society in Atlanta returns to the scene of the 2010 event for Promontory XV.
Produced by Benita Carr, the live performance will take place near the surviving oak tree in a hidden chasm off the Beltline's Eastside Trail adjacent to the parking deck of the Fourth Ward Offices. Promontory XV explores the relationship nature and urban development using large-scale projections and an immersive soundscape created by soprano Jasmine Habersham, sound artist and pianist Ipek Eginli, trumpeter and 4th Ward Afro Klezmer Orchestra founder Roger Ruzow, violinist Brijené Wilson and experimental sound designer Stan Woodard. – Doug DeLoach
From the venue:
Promontory XV is a site-specific, public art performance by multimedia artist Hormuz Minina to take place in a hidden chasm off the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail, adjacent to the parking deck of the Fourth Ward Offices. The live performance will explore the intersection between nature and urban development.
Crowned by a majestic oak tree, the enormous ravine and its retaining wall will be the dramatic backdrop to a live performance incorporating large-scale projections, an immersive soundscape featuring American soprano Jasmine Habersham, and durational choreography designed to highlight the liminal space between the BeltLine’s development and the surrounding nature that remains. Other featured musical artists include Turkish-American sound artist and pianist Ipek Eginli, trumpeter and 4th Ward AfroKlezmer Orchestra founder Roger Ruzow, classical violinist Brijené Wilson, and experimental sound designer Stan Woodard.
