Sound is a sensorial experience. Who has the privilege of basking in sensation? What is the difference between hearing and listening? Through a site-specific sound installation  on the Momentary’s Lower Mezzanine, DJ Girlfriend brings together ambient sounds recorded throughout the Momentary to l interrogate the crossroad of privilege, opinion, experience, and the way those inform each other. What has patience (or strength) to listen through layers of sound and discern a meaning, and whose responsibility is that?

The work will be shared across multiple days over the course of an hour, allowing guests to visit anytime during that time period to ensure proper distancing.

DJ Girlfriend is part of the Artist Responses to Nick Cave: Until.

Safety is the Momentary’s top priority. The Momentary is operating at a one-third capacity with staff monitoring onsite to ensure proper distancing is taking place. The Momentary requires visitors and staff to wear face coverings for ages 10 and older indoors and outdoors. Following the most recent recommendations from the CDC, face shields and face coverings with exhaust valves or vents are not allowed. Masks are available upon entry for those who do not have one.
