SUMMARY:Performance: Sarah Hennies and Tristan Kasten-Krause
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 6\, 2025 | 7 pm\n$10 Members and Students; $15 General Admission \nJoin us for an intimate duo performance by composer and percussionist Sarah Hennies and bassist Tristan Kasten-Krause\, presented in connection with Zak Prekop: Durations. Hennies and Kasten-Krause will present a 40-60 minute set of experimental music within the Museum’s galleries\, offering a meditative\, resonant experience that blurs the boundaries between sound\, space\, and visual art. \nSarah Hennies is known for her immersive and durational performances that explore psychoacoustic phenomena\, queerness\, and the act of listening. Her duo with Kasten-Krause combines sensitivity and restraint\, crafting quiet\, expansive works that unfold gradually over time. \nThis event is presented in conjunction with Zak Prekop: Durations (on view through January 11\, 2026)\, an exhibition exploring visual rhythm\, repetition\, and the temporality of painting. It also marks the launch of Zak Prekop’s first museum publication. This fully illustrated\, 32-page softcover catalogue features bold new abstract paintings by the artist\, along with an interview between Prekop and curator Eduardo Andres Alfonso. The catalogue will be available for purchase at the event.
