Final Weeks of the Wolf Eyes Library Style Residency at NYPL

If you have not caught the Wolf Eyes Library Style residency at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, now is the time to stop in before it closes on Saturday, January 29.

Wolf Eyes, an experimental musical group from Detroit, has created over 300 recordings and close to 2,000 performances to date, with nearly new equipment and sound approaches on almost every occasion. The Wolf Eyes residency at the Library for the Performing Arts focuses on homemade instruments and how they relate to the visual aspect of performance and composition.

Wolf Eyes created new instruments specifically for the Music & Recorded Sound Division, and a limited-edition, full-length LP was recorded using only these instruments. The LP will be available exclusively at the Library for the Performing Arts and only during the run of the exhibition, which features an installation of over 60 painting assemblage “scores” made collaboratively by Nate Young and John Olson. The instruments, art, and LP will become part of the Library’s permanent collection in hope that generations will be inspired to take the sonic ideas into their own creative process. 

Come to the Library, read a book, listen to music and get a free Wolf Eyes record! The Wolf Eyes Library Style residency has been extended to Saturday, January 29 in the Shelby Cullom Davis Museum at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (40 Lincoln Center Plaza). Learn more here.
