Artists-In-Residence 2016

Abigail Hobbs

The Sunview Luncheonette

Adopting the old newsreel/serial/feature film format and staged in the meeting-house-­like setting of the Sunview Luncheonette, ABIGAIL HOBBS explores subjugation and its remedy, from Salem Village to the Port Haven Psychiatric Facility, through live multichannel sound improvisation, projection+ historical reenactment.

Chris Abrahams

Celebrated pianist Chris Abrahams appears in a rare New York solo performance at ISSUE Project Room’s 22 Boerum Place theater. Perhaps best known as the piano player with the long form trio the Necks, Abrahams' music explores the resonating properties of the vibrating piano string.
