This Event Is In The Past
Marking the Infinite closing event
Sunday March 31, 2019 | 12:30 pm
Don’t miss your last chance to dive deep into the art of Marking the Infinite: Contemporary Women Artists From Aboriginal Australia with a unique afternoon of musical experimentation and art appreciation at MOA.
Take a guided tour of the exhibition and learn about the stories and inspiration behind these incredible works of art and the nine Aboriginal women from who created them. Then experience a sonic journey of discovery, reflection and meditation as RumSalt—a seven-piece ensemble of accomplished and innovative Vancouver musicians—create music in real time in response to the art.
RumSalt was especially assembled for this exhibition by Alex Morison, a composer and multi-talented musician (The History of Gunpowder). This newly formed eclectic ensemble features critically acclaimed and envelope-pushing musicians: JUNO-award winner Meredith Bates on violin; prolific multidisciplinary artist Genevieve Mackay on viola; classically trained, folk musician Franki Lemon on cello; award-winning composer and musician Mike WT Allen on baritone saxophone; experimental blues rocker Nik Focht on percussion; and contemporary improvised music specialist, Lyle Hopkins on double bass.
