Sold Out! Jackson-Pratt: Mental Re-Suspension: Live Painting Music No.10 (For Anguish Under Foot)

Fri 05 Dec, 2025, 8pm

Friday, December 5th at 8pm, 2025 Artist-In-Residence Jackson-Pratt presents Mental Re-Suspension: Live Painting Music No. 10 (For Anguish Under Foot), the culminating commission of his ISSUE residency. Expanding his ongoing “Live Painting Music” series, Jackson-Pratt scales the project from a single microphonic painting/sculpture—showcased in performances this past February and September—to four, with the technical support of MITU580 in Gowanus. The interdisciplinary arts space’s robust production capabilities and commitment to experimentation provide an ideal setting for his most ambitious installment to date. 

Jackson-Pratt (Seany Nuelle) is a multimedia artist based in Queens. Over the last decade Seany has honed a body of work focused on highly dynamic, saturation-based audio. He also creates large-scale paintings and visual works that coincide with audio performance. His current focus is to draw an obtainable line between extreme audio/sound/music works, (albeit noise or otherwise) and the visual language. Sonically he strives to make music that is “unignorable” and “hyperconscious” in nature through the use of rapid editing, and diverse and often polarizing sound sources, all mixed with a distinctly human touch. Performances combine these approaches with visual works on reactive or symbolic surfaces. Seany has long worked within the greater NYC DIY community, and under the moniker Jackson-Pratt, he has performed in over 10 countries across the globe.

MITU580 is a multi-use art space in Brooklyn, NY founded and operated by interdisciplinary performance company, Mitu. The company has retrofitted this former glass recycling facility into 2,400 square feet of flexible space intended to intersect the fields of performance, installation art, new-media, and design. MITU580 is at once a studio space and performance venue to house all of Mitu’s programming, as well as a state-of-the-art production facility capable of hosting all types of innovative performances and events. This facility is a unique gathering place where interdisciplinary arts practice is interrogated, incubated, and produced.

ISSUE Project Room's Artist-In-Residence program is made possible, in part, with support from TD Charitable Foundation, public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and with the support of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
