Guillermo Galindo: Sonic Border

Experimental composer Guillermo Galindo will give a live musical performance based on a collaborative project that involves fabricating musical instruments and graphic musical scores from items recovered at the U.S.-Mexico border. Galindo will perform at 7 pm and then discuss his work, followed by a Q&A with the audience. After the presentation he will sign copies of "Border Cantos," his collaborative book project with photographer Richard Misrach. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. The event will be held in the UMFA's newly remodeled Katherine W. and Ezekiel R. Dumke Jr. Auditorium. The event is part of the Museum's ARTLandish: Land Art, Landscape, and the Environment series sponsored by the S. J. and Jessie E. Quinney Foundation and presented in partnership with the College of Fine Arts, University of Utah and J. Willard Marriott Library, and the Salt Lake City Public Library.
