Featuring Amalle Dublon and Aria Dean
Amalle Dublon and Aria Dean present new work for the Center for Experimental Lectures, an artist's project based in New York that engages with the public lecture as form. Amalle Dublon will play and discuss Mariah Carey's song "Honey," relating it to concerns of dependency, growth and decay, and culinary sound. In Aria Dean's lecture, To the Ringdown, two become one, bound by a third. As a part of a series of lectures co-commissioned by Montez Press Radio, their lectures will be broadcast live from Artists Space and archived at radio.montezpress.com.
