SUMMARY:Sister Sylvester & Deniz Tortum - Shadowtime
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________\nVirtual Reality / Film \n‘Shadowtime’ is a word drawn from a new lexicon for the anthropocene. It is the feeling of occupying two irreconcilable times simultaneously. Making breakfast for a child\, while knowing that in that child’s lifetime a species of flower that has existed for millennia has gone extinct. Driving to try and make work on time it occurs to you that the gas in your engine is the compressed bones of prehistoric creatures. \nShadowtime takes these temporal incompatibilities and explores them in the realm of virtual reality and simulation theory. To exist in the virtual world is to have two bodies\, four hands\, two hearts—to exist in two worlds at the same time. Alma\, a mysterious guide to this double world\, leads you through questions around climate crisis\, grief\, and the provocation of the virtual as a retreat or shelter\, or as a place from which to come to learn how to be in two places\, two times\, simultaneously.

Guided by a binaural soundtrack\, participants create a shared journey using pencil on blank sheets of paper. Crude doodles soon come to life in a comical and unsettling picture book narrative that plays constantly with the tension between creation and destruction\, life and death\, energy and entropy.  By simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. \nThings – stories\, pictures\, ideas – appear and disappear constantly on the page\, a site which starts to unfold into a lo-fi carnival of possibility; a carnage of crossing out\, overlapped drawings and landscape traces. \nLike Ant Hampton’s other ‘autoteatro’ work\, including his previous collaborations with Tim Etchells (The Quiet Volume\, Lest We See)\, by simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. And they have never been so small.

Two audience members sit side-by-side taking cues from words both written and whispered—via an iPod and headphones—and find themselves burrowing an unlikely path through a pile of books. The piece exposes the strange magic at the heart of the reading experience\, allowing aspects of it we think of as deeply internal to lean out into the surrounding space\, and to leak from one reader’s sphere into another’s. \nThe Quiet Volume won a Bessie Award for Outstanding Sound Design in 2013. \n“This now of the page is what grips me – the present moment\, this one\, summoned here with this arrangement of marks/code\, ink/pixels\, letters and words.”  – Tim Etchells \n‘The Quiet Volume’\, this play by Ant Hampton and Tim Etchells leading a spectator into the world of books\, is theatre of a very magical kind. A theatre of the gradual construction of thoughts whilst seeing\, listening and reading. A theatre that pulls the world in and around\, closer to and into the spectator\, by making the very ability to read the world its thematic focus point. (…) It offers a kind of instruction for how to become blind: effectively nothing other than the careful readjustment of sight. Here it works most beautifully\, because the direction of viewing or thinking suggested to the spectator via headphones and text always works both internally and externally\, focussing on the material objects just as much as on the clusters of thoughts to which they are attached. ” —Doris Meierhenrich\, Berliner Zeitung\, 20.09.2010. original german here \n“…the feeling of heightened awareness in which every sound is magnified\, every movement has increased significance and all words dance with possibility (…) there is a sense that we are all privately running amok in the libraries of our minds.” —Lyn Gardner\, The Guardian.

SUMMARY:Ant Hampton & Time Based Editions - Borderline Visible
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________________\nAudio & visual experience \nTicket price includes a copy of the book\, which contains a link to the audio track and can therefore be experienced again individually at any point\, in multiple languages. \nBorderline Visible begins as a journey from Lausanne to Izmir in 2022 by two artist friends\, one of whom must stop. As the other continues towards Turkey\, suddenly alone\, the narration grows into a moving and troubled psychogeography as it shifts between ‘we’ and ‘I\,’ present and past\, piecing together value and meaning from the very human ruins of aspiration\, history and language.  \nAnt Hampton’s careful\, at times miraculous\, process of reconnection gradually lights up a constellation: voices and earthquakes\, the Sephardic diaspora\, tourism and forced movement\, breakdowns and dementia\, the end of the Ottoman Empire\, swifts and swallows\, Eliot’s The Waste Land and an urgent insight into hidden atrocities at the edge of Europe being funded from its centre.  \nAnt Hampton is co-director of the Time Based Editions series\, publisher of Borderline Visible. As with all Time Based Editions\, an audio track combines narration\, soundscape and instructions that guide you over  a given time through the book. Ticket price includes a copy of the book\, which can be experienced again individually at any point in multiple languages. \n“The book-as-performance becomes a kind of “survival process” that illuminates those excluded from the country of the visible.” —Daniel Sack \n“Your understanding of what a book can be will change forever.” —Lara Pawson \n“Hampton has been creating an international furore for years with his autoteatro performance works without actors … ‘Borderline Visible’ is an extraordinary experience … The interplay between soundscape and picture book works perfectly. Sometimes pages are black or you have to close your eyes\, like black-outs in a film. Some pages you have to let slide past your fingers like an old filmstrip – then the landscape passes you by. Thus history\, politics and art come together poignantly\, in an intelligent work in which\, after Hampton\, the audience travels their own journey.” —De Volkskrant (NL) ★★★★☆ \n“an extremely engaging psychogeographical framework constantly enriched by Hampton’s searching mind and razor-sharp political rage.” —Marijn Lems\, Theaterkrant (NL) \n“…distilled with subtlety and humanity… A magnificent way of approaching politics through exploration\, extended time\, and touch.” —Marie-Pierre Genecand\, Le Temps (CH) \nWinner of the IDFA (International Documentary Festival Amsterdam) 2023 DocLab award for Creative Technologies.

SUMMARY:Ben LaMar Gay - Cold Was the Ground
DESCRIPTION:Music \nBen LaMar Gay is a composer and cornetist who moves sound\, color\, and space through folkloric filters to produce electro-acoustic collages.  A Chicago native\, Ben’s true technique is giving life to an idea while exploring and expanding on the term ‘Americana.’ With his band\, the Ben LaMar Gay Quartet\, he will dive into the hypnotism of their cosmopolitan blues\, with old and new tales as well as selections from their latest release Yowzers via International Anthem. This work represents a leap forward in the lexicon of Gay’s recorded output and a veritable masterwork of ancient inner-body rhythms and intuitive melodic storytelling. The quartet consists of Ben LaMar Gay on cornet\, electronics\, and vocals; Tommaso Moretti on drums; Edinho Gerber on guitar; and Katie Ernst on bass.  \n“…Elevating the diverse sounds of earth to the heavens.”– Andy Beta\, Pitchfork \n“Ben LaMar Gay’s music is full of wonder. It takes in the endearing glow of the natural world\, plus the endless variety of man-made refractions\, and then processes those beams and flickers into something strikingly original.” – AFROPUNK \n“There is no one universe for Ben LaMar Gay\, he just sonic booms from one sound to another.”– NPR Music

SUMMARY:Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe -  Film Music Nsenene / Grasshopper Republic
DESCRIPTION:Film with Live Score / Music \nRobert Aiki Aubrey Lowe weaves together voice and modular synthesis for Nsenene\, a live interpretation of the score to the film Grasshopper Republic. Filmed over three years in Uganda and directed by Daniel McCabe\, this documentary follows  a team of grasshopper trappers as they try ‘to catch the swarm.’  \nLowe’s live score—shifting between falsetto incantations\, resonant horns\, and trembling electronics—creates a charged sonic ecosystem where sound mirrors survival and the precarious interdependence between humans and the natural world.  \nThis live performance is the furthering of the Grasshopper Republic film collaboration between Lowe and McCabe. Unused footage and stems from the film’s score manifest as an A/V performance conceptualized by Lowe in which he investigates the elements of the score to create a new landscape. \nPart science fiction\, part documentary and comprehensively filmed over\, Grasshopper Republic follows a local grasshopper trapping team\, in verité style\, as these modern-day prospectors push into remote forests and villages seeking their fortune by capturing this elusive prey by the barrel load. In deliberate contrast to this dystopian imposition\, specialized macro cameras simultaneously transport the audience into an immersive natural world on a level with the perspective of the Grasshoppers. This film is an immersive exploration of this strange\, beautiful\, and dangerous predicament which examines the balance between communities and ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Kara-Lis Coverdale - A Series of Actions in a Sphere of Forever
DESCRIPTION:Music \nKara-Lis Coverdale presents a program of solo piano works\, A Series of Actions in a Sphere of Forever\, in PS21’s Black Box Theater. Taken from her recent album of the same name\, the works are in a way classic nocturnes (i.e. inspired by night)\, but also evoke tangential\, abstract associations: an animation of melodic webs; moving through a thick substance; sound objects in space. Written and recorded during winter in a small rural studio in Ontario\, they also reflect Coverdale’s retreat from maximal sound and a return to acoustic fundamentals.  \nA Series of Actions in a Sphere of Forever is slow and focuses as much on the decay of piano melody as on its attack. Mood emerges from deceleration and restraint; emerging melodies\, inspired by modal influences from the late Renaissance\, post-war minimalism\, and Coverdale’s idiosyncratic sense of musical ecology\, bloom at their own pace.  \nIn her own words: “This [music] is an exploration of harmony in space\, music as an antithesis to silence. A silence that does not exist.”

SUMMARY:Sarah Hennies & Tristan Kasten-Krause • Prisoner’s Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Music \nPrisoner’s Cinema is a collaboratively-composed and performed work by Sarah Hennies and Tristan Kasten-Krause for double bass\, percussion\, and a single candle flame.  \nThis piece explores the links between sight\, hearing\, and perception and is partly inspired by “trataka\,” a style of yogi purification meditation that involves staring at a single point (such as a candle flame) for extended durations. The instruments are closely tuned to one another to produce beating effects and psychoacoustic phenomena such as “three-dimensional” sound\, where it feels as though the music is moving through space.  \nHennies and Kasten-Krause believe in a style of adventurous music that is both challenging and accessible and that offers any potential audience member an experience that may change and broaden their experience of music\, sound\, the world\, and themselves.

SUMMARY:Andrew Schneider - NOWISWHENWEARE (the stars) Open Universe
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n1:00 pm—8:00 pm \nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n1:00 pm—4:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n1:00 pm—8:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n1:00 pm—3:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—6:00 pm\n___________________________________\nImmersive Experience / Theatre / Visual Art \nEvery point in space occurs once at each moment of time. NOWISWHENWEARE (the stars) is a new interactive theatrical installation that pushes this idea to its literal extreme.  \nAn unseen narrator guides each participant through an individualized journey into a precisely programmed matrix of light—and the cosmos of themselves. the stars traces every decision that you have ever made as a contributing factor to being ‘here’ and being ‘now.’ With nearly 4\,000 reactive LED lights and a 496-channel soundscape\, Andrew Schneider’s powerful installation draws you into a contemplative and deeply personal encounter with time\, memory and presence. Part-meditation\, part-exploration\,  this dazzling fusion of tech and theatre is a rare chance to get lost in the stars.  \nTwo distinct experiences are offered in The Dark – Open Universe and Guided – each unique and compelling in different ways.  \nThis is a non-seated\, interactive experience in which audience members are free to move around the space. The venue is wheelchair and walker accessible\, and chairs can be provided on request.

The work reimagines Koyaanisqatsi — Godfrey Reggio’s seminal 1982 film — using a generative AI model and ongoing conversations between Fitzgerald and Reggio. \nCast onto a drifting veil of mist\, light gathers\, fades\, and returns. The image breathes\, loosening the boundaries between atmosphere and environment\, machine and element\, presence and disappearance. As the very ground beneath us shifts from terra firma to techno firma\, the installation lingers at the threshold\, asking quietly: which age is this\, the sunset or the dawn?

SUMMARY:Sister Sylvester & Deniz Tortum - Shadowtime
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________\nVirtual Reality / Film \n‘Shadowtime’ is a word drawn from a new lexicon for the anthropocene. It is the feeling of occupying two irreconcilable times simultaneously. Making breakfast for a child\, while knowing that in that child’s lifetime a species of flower that has existed for millennia has gone extinct. Driving to try and make work on time it occurs to you that the gas in your engine is the compressed bones of prehistoric creatures.  \nShadowtime takes these temporal incompatibilities and explores them in the realm of virtual reality and simulation theory. To exist in the virtual world is to have two bodies\, four hands\, two hearts—to exist in two worlds at the same time. Alma\, a mysterious guide to this double world\, leads you through questions around climate crisis\, grief\, and the provocation of the virtual as a retreat or shelter\, or as a place from which to come to learn how to be in two places\, two times\, simultaneously.

SUMMARY:Ant Hampton with Tim Etchells - Not to Scale

Guided by a binaural soundtrack\, participants create a shared journey using pencil on blank sheets of paper. Crude doodles soon come to life in a comical and unsettling picture book narrative that plays constantly with the tension between creation and destruction\, life and death\, energy and entropy.  By simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement.  \nThings – stories\, pictures\, ideas – appear and disappear constantly on the page\, a site which starts to unfold into a lo-fi carnival of possibility; a carnage of crossing out\, overlapped drawings and landscape traces. \nLike Ant Hampton’s other ‘autoteatro’ work\, including his previous collaborations with Tim Etchells (The Quiet Volume\, Lest We See)\, by simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. And they have never been so small.

Two audience members sit side-by-side taking cues from words both written and whispered—via an iPod and headphones—and find themselves burrowing an unlikely path through a pile of books. The piece exposes the strange magic at the heart of the reading experience\, allowing aspects of it we think of as deeply internal to lean out into the surrounding space\, and to leak from one reader’s sphere into another’s.  \nThe Quiet Volume won a Bessie Award for Outstanding Sound Design in 2013. \n“This now of the page is what grips me – the present moment\, this one\, summoned here with this arrangement of marks/code\, ink/pixels\, letters and words.”  – Tim Etchells \n‘The Quiet Volume’\, this play by Ant Hampton and Tim Etchells leading a spectator into the world of books\, is theatre of a very magical kind. A theatre of the gradual construction of thoughts whilst seeing\, listening and reading. A theatre that pulls the world in and around\, closer to and into the spectator\, by making the very ability to read the world its thematic focus point. (…) It offers a kind of instruction for how to become blind: effectively nothing other than the careful readjustment of sight. Here it works most beautifully\, because the direction of viewing or thinking suggested to the spectator via headphones and text always works both internally and externally\, focussing on the material objects just as much as on the clusters of thoughts to which they are attached. ” —Doris Meierhenrich\, Berliner Zeitung\, 20.09.2010. original german here \n“…the feeling of heightened awareness in which every sound is magnified\, every movement has increased significance and all words dance with possibility (…) there is a sense that we are all privately running amok in the libraries of our minds.” —Lyn Gardner\, The Guardian.

SUMMARY:Ant Hampton & Time Based Editions - Borderline Visible
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________________\nAudio & visual experience \nTicket price includes a copy of the book\, which contains a link to the audio track and can therefore be experienced again individually at any point\, in multiple languages. \nBorderline Visible begins as a journey from Lausanne to Izmir in 2022 by two artist friends\, one of whom must stop. As the other continues towards Turkey\, suddenly alone\, the narration grows into a moving and troubled psychogeography as it shifts between ‘we’ and ‘I\,’ present and past\, piecing together value and meaning from the very human ruins of aspiration\, history and language.  \nAnt Hampton’s careful\, at times miraculous\, process of reconnection gradually lights up a constellation: voices and earthquakes\, the Sephardic diaspora\, tourism and forced movement\, breakdowns and dementia\, the end of the Ottoman Empire\, swifts and swallows\, Eliot’s The Waste Land and an urgent insight into hidden atrocities at the edge of Europe being funded from its centre.  \nAnt Hampton is co-director of the Time Based Editions series\, publisher of Borderline Visible. As with all Time Based Editions\, an audio track combines narration\, soundscape and instructions that guide you over  a given time through the book. Ticket price includes a copy of the book\, which can be experienced again individually at any point in multiple languages. \n“The book-as-performance becomes a kind of “survival process” that illuminates those excluded from the country of the visible.” —Daniel Sack \n“Your understanding of what a book can be will change forever.” —Lara Pawson \n“Hampton has been creating an international furore for years with his autoteatro performance works without actors … ‘Borderline Visible’ is an extraordinary experience … The interplay between soundscape and picture book works perfectly. Sometimes pages are black or you have to close your eyes\, like black-outs in a film. Some pages you have to let slide past your fingers like an old filmstrip – then the landscape passes you by. Thus history\, politics and art come together poignantly\, in an intelligent work in which\, after Hampton\, the audience travels their own journey.” —De Volkskrant (NL) ★★★★☆ \n“an extremely engaging psychogeographical framework constantly enriched by Hampton’s searching mind and razor-sharp political rage.” —Marijn Lems\, Theaterkrant (NL) \n“…distilled with subtlety and humanity… A magnificent way of approaching politics through exploration\, extended time\, and touch.” —Marie-Pierre Genecand\, Le Temps (CH) \nWinner of the IDFA (International Documentary Festival Amsterdam) 2023 DocLab award for Creative Technologies.

SUMMARY:Lee Ranaldo & Leah Singer - Contre Jour
DESCRIPTION:Film with Live Score / Music / Visual Art \nAdapting the French name for contralight\, Contre Jour is a project in evolution for more than thirty years\, bringing together the artistic vision of Canadian photographer and multimedia artist Leah Singer with American composer\, guitarist\, and producer Lee Ranaldo\, a founding member of Sonic Youth.  \nSinger and Ranaldo break traditional dynamics between performer and audience to examine how live image and sound might interact. Contre Jour\, the shadow is introduced as an integral part of the performance. Ranaldo and the suspended guitar cast their omnipresnet shadows on the screen\, staging a dialogue with the projections. A folding in of prior documented performances featuring shadows creates a mise en abyme setting. Contre Jour was invited to GNRation\, Porto (2024)\, the arts festival Dark Mofo\, in Tasmania (2023)\, and the S8 International Film Festival\, A Coruna\, Spain (2022) among others. \nThe entire action of “Contre Jour” takes place between the projection of the images and the screen\, precisely so that\, through the experimentation and unexpected cuts\, there is this light of shadow on the screen\, of the body of the guitar and of the body of the guitarist and author. This place without space\, full of presence and absolute dynamics — nothing static. Ricardo Vicente Paredes\, Rimas e Batidas\, 2024

SUMMARY:Arone Dyer / Dronechoir - Lode*
DESCRIPTION:Music \nArone Dyer’s Dronechoir is a boundary-blurring\, ever-evolving\, highly interactive musical experience that aims to provide new or deeper connections between participants and audience members alike since 2015.  \nA curated group of vocalists from diverse backgrounds perform an unrehearsed a capella piece in which musical cues and venue-specific movement directions are fed to them through earphones\, physically foregrounding specific singers or creating positional unity at different points in the piece. As a result\, the singers may move closer to each other and members of the audience than is typical or expected\, bringing depth to the experience by challenging comfort barriers and introducing a heightened sense of engagement with the performance.

SUMMARY:Andrew Schneider - NOWISWHENWEARE (the stars) Open Universe
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n1:00 pm—8:00 pm \nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n1:00 pm—4:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n1:00 pm—8:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n1:00 pm—3:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—6:00 pm\n___________________________________\nImmersive Experience / Theatre / Visual Art \nEvery point in space occurs once at each moment of time. NOWISWHENWEARE (the stars) is a new interactive theatrical installation that pushes this idea to its literal extreme.  \nAn unseen narrator guides each participant through an individualized journey into a precisely programmed matrix of light—and the cosmos of themselves. the stars traces every decision that you have ever made as a contributing factor to being ‘here’ and being ‘now.’ With nearly 4\,000 reactive LED lights and a 496-channel soundscape\, Andrew Schneider’s powerful installation draws you into a contemplative and deeply personal encounter with time\, memory and presence. Part-meditation\, part-exploration\,  this dazzling fusion of tech and theatre is a rare chance to get lost in the stars.  \nTwo distinct experiences are offered in The Dark – Open Universe and Guided – each unique and compelling in different ways.  \nThis is a non-seated\, interactive experience in which audience members are free to move around the space. The venue is wheelchair and walker accessible\, and chairs can be provided on request.

SUMMARY:Raven Chacon & David Lang / Williams College ensembles - Voiceless Mass and the little match girl passion
DESCRIPTION:Music \nWilliams College ensembles perform music of transcendence in St. James Church.  \nRaven Chacon’s Voiceless Mass is a large ensemble work to be performed in any gathering space of worship with high ceilings and pipe organ. Though ‘mass’ is referenced in the title\, the piece contains no audible singing voices\, instead using the openness of the large space to intone the constricted intervals of the wind and string instruments.  \nIn exploiting the architecture of the cathedral\, Voiceless Mass considers the futility of giving voice to the voiceless\, when providing space is never an option.  \nDavid Lang’s the little match girl passion sets Hans Christian Andersen’s story ‘The Little Match Girl’ in the format of Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion\, interspersing Andersen’s narrative with Lang’s versions of the crowd and character responses from Bach’s Passion. \n“With his winning of the Pulitzer Prize for the little match girl passion (one of the most original and moving scores of recent years)\, Lang\, once a postminimalist enfant terrible\, has solidified his standing as an American master.” –The New Yorker

The work reimagines Koyaanisqatsi — Godfrey Reggio’s seminal 1982 film — using a generative AI model and ongoing conversations between Fitzgerald and Reggio. \nCast onto a drifting veil of mist\, light gathers\, fades\, and returns. The image breathes\, loosening the boundaries between atmosphere and environment\, machine and element\, presence and disappearance. As the very ground beneath us shifts from terra firma to techno firma\, the installation lingers at the threshold\, asking quietly: which age is this\, the sunset or the dawn? \nPhoto by Pinelopi Gerasimou

SUMMARY:Kara-Lis Coverdale - Music for Organ
DESCRIPTION:Music \nPipe organ is a connective tissue throughout Kara-Lis Coverdale’s opus\, underpinning her spectral understanding of sound and harmony. After a hiatus from the instrument for strict focus on electronic touring from 2016–2018\, she began to explore solo pipe organ performance internationally. Underlying these works is a spectral sensitivity tempered with animism and weavings of harmonic interjections\, described by New York Times writer Jon Pareles as “elevated\, disembodied contemplation\, patiently celestial.” As part of The Dark\, Coverdale presents a program of newly created works for the organ at St. James Church in Chatham along with previously composed material.

SUMMARY:Ant Hampton & Time Based Editions - Borderline Visible
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________________\nAudio & visual experience \nTicket price includes a copy of the book\, which contains a link to the audio track and can therefore be experienced again individually at any point\, in multiple languages. \nBorderline Visible begins as a journey from Lausanne to Izmir in 2022 by two artist friends\, one of whom must stop. As the other continues towards Turkey\, suddenly alone\, the narration grows into a moving and troubled psychogeography as it shifts between ‘we’ and ‘I\,’ present and past\, piecing together value and meaning from the very human ruins of aspiration\, history and language.  \nAnt Hampton’s careful\, at times miraculous\, process of reconnection gradually lights up a constellation: voices and earthquakes\, the Sephardic diaspora\, tourism and forced movement\, breakdowns and dementia\, the end of the Ottoman Empire\, swifts and swallows\, Eliot’s The Waste Land and an urgent insight into hidden atrocities at the edge of Europe being funded from its centre.  \nAnt Hampton is co-director of the Time Based Editions series\, publisher of Borderline Visible. As with all Time Based Editions\, an audio track combines narration\, soundscape and instructions that guide you over  a given time through the book. Ticket price includes a copy of the book\, which can be experienced again individually at any point in multiple languages. \n“The book-as-performance becomes a kind of “survival process” that illuminates those excluded from the country of the visible.” —Daniel Sack \n“Your understanding of what a book can be will change forever.” —Lara Pawson \n“Hampton has been creating an international furore for years with his autoteatro performance works without actors … ‘Borderline Visible’ is an extraordinary experience … The interplay between soundscape and picture book works perfectly. Sometimes pages are black or you have to close your eyes\, like black-outs in a film. Some pages you have to let slide past your fingers like an old filmstrip – then the landscape passes you by. Thus history\, politics and art come together poignantly\, in an intelligent work in which\, after Hampton\, the audience travels their own journey.” —De Volkskrant (NL) ★★★★☆ \n“an extremely engaging psychogeographical framework constantly enriched by Hampton’s searching mind and razor-sharp political rage.” —Marijn Lems\, Theaterkrant (NL) \n“…distilled with subtlety and humanity… A magnificent way of approaching politics through exploration\, extended time\, and touch.” —Marie-Pierre Genecand\, Le Temps (CH) \nWinner of the IDFA (International Documentary Festival Amsterdam) 2023 DocLab award for Creative Technologies.
