Checkpoint C Artist Talk with Ricardo iamuuri Robinson

Checkpoint C Artist Talk with Ricardo iamuuri Robinson

Presented by Shiftworks Community + Public Arts at The Backyard - Pittsburgh Cultural Trust

Join artist Ricardo iamuuri Robinson for a closing reception for his current installation, Checkpoint C. This multimedia time-based audio installation explores the ways in which streams of information, entertainment, and consumerism widen the gap between civilians and military service members. It is an immersive art installation that includes visual and spatial elements, positioning listeners in the sand as sound moves throughout the interior of a retrofitted shipping container.

During the reception, Robinson will discuss the artwork and his collaboration with the post-9/11 veteran community of Pittsburgh. The artist talk will be followed by a Q & A and time to view the installation. Refreshments will be provided.
