Award-winning poet and performer Jon Sands partners with acclaimed jazz trumpeter Riley Mulherkar for an intimate collaboration in and around Dia Chelsea. With words and musical notes as raw material, their one-hour set challenges the lines between public and private. Using the city itself, with all of its movement and energy, as a backdrop, the artists aim to build a new “emotional history”—to use Sands’s term—that is, a living, moment-to-moment archive of how it feels in the here and now.
