VISUAL ART FORUM | Haroon Mirza

MoCap Studio I Room 285E, North Building

Join us for a talk with artist Haroon Mirza.

Mirza is internationally acclaimed for his work that tests the interplay and friction between sound and light waves and electric current. An advocate of interference (in the sense of electro-acoustic or radio disruption), he creates situations in which he describes his role as a composer. By manipulating electricity, a live, invisible and volatile phenomenon, and calling on instruments as varied as household electronics, LEDs, furniture, and video footage to behave differently, relationships between elements become reliant and responsive to each other in what Mirza calls “self-governing” systems.

Mirza’s exhibition at the Contemporary Art Gallery Entheogens runs from January 13th - March 19th in the B.C. Binning and Alvin Balkind Galleries.

All events are free and open to the public.

Visual Art Forums are presented by the Audain Faculty of Visual Art + Material Practice. This event is co-presented with The Contemporary Art Gallery.
