Denver Art Museum Creative in Residence

Ephemeral works, performances, and sound installation as the inaugural Creative in Residence at the Denver Art Museum, March 2015. Works were site-specific and inspired by the DAM's collection. Stations were set up in three galleries for visitors to explore sound making within the museum.

Nathan Hall, composer and Creative-in-Residence developed a special performance piece inspired by the ENGI installation of the Denver Art Museum. Singers and instruments were thoughtfully placed on the floors of the Hamilton building and performers used the ever-changing ENGI numbers as their musical score.
