David Lamelas’s performance 1416 m3 (2014/26) has its New York premiere on February 10, as a prelude to his survey exhibition opening March 6. Composed by Gavin Gamboa following Lamelas’s concept, 1416 m3 was initially commissioned as a site-responsive work for the artist’s solo presentation at the Oberlichtstaal at Kunsthalle Basel, David Lamelas: V. Performed at Dia Chelsea by JACK Quartet and baritone Edward Nelson, the work sonically illustrates the architectural volume of the gallery, filling each cubic meter of the space with sound.
