Culminating Program Celebrating the Off-Site Exhibition Series Exploring Sound and Stillness in Urban Environments to Include Architect Charles Renfro, Historian Hillel Schwartz, Sound Artist Jana Winderen, and Writer Robert A.F. Thurman, Among Many Others

(NEW YORK, NY – September 28, 2012) – On October 9, the Guggenheim Museum and Unsound— creators of the celebrated New York festival—host a variety show of talks, performances, films, readings, statements, and personal reflections by architects, artists, planners, scientists, politicians, philosophers, and musicians as a finale reflecting upon the issues explored within the five editions of the off-site exhibition series stillspotting nyc. Program visitors will join in a larger conversation about how man-made environments can be reconceived, reshaped, and redesigned to provide increased opportunities for calm and stillness, and will be invited to revisit elements of the site-specific commissions from each of the five New York City boroughs recreated in the Guggenheim rotunda during the evening of the stillspotting nyc: finale.

The program will take place in the Peter B. Lewis Theater of the Guggenheim Museum from 7–10 pm, with a lounge—including restaged elements of stillspotting nyc editions—held in the rotunda from 9–11 pm where specialty stillspotting cocktails will be served. Tickets are $10, $7 members, $5 students. For a complete program description, more information, and tickets, visit http://stillspotting.guggenheim.org/visit/learn/.
