sHop soundings Sounds collected, processed and mixed from and around two Southside Hub Of Production sites in the Hyde Park neighborhood, one from the 53rd and Lake Park Spring 2010(The old Hollywood Video, I am sure older members of the community remember older versions of the site.) and the other the Fenn House on 57th and Woodlawn Spring 2012. This is an alternate mapping and layering of these sites, their history, activity and materiality. I was honored to have been involved in both programs and was inspired by the enthusiasm and creativity of the community SHOP built over the years I had been involved.
“Invisibility, let me explain, gives one a slightly different sense of time, you’re never quite on the beat. Sometimes you’re ahead and sometimes behind. Instead of the swift and imperceptible flowing of time, you are aware of its nodes, those points where time stands still or from which it leaps ahead. And you slip into the breaks and look around.” — Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison
