Armando Rosales

@armandorosalesrivero is the 2nd artist in this years cohort. He is a sculptor and experimental percussionist whose work explores the intersections of the intimate, institutional and political. Through sculpture and installation , he examines materiality, sound, and questions how forces shaping behavior connect to the body as a site of learning and transformation.
While at RAIR, he has been developing a series of kinetic and static sculptures that double as musical instruments and muted objects. Through material investigation, contact microphones, and friction, he has created a range of soundscapes built around slow, rhythmic cycles.
Mark your calendars for Saturday May 23rd at 530pm. Armando will be presenting the percussive sculptures made from materials found on site and will be joined by local percussionists to activate and improvise through an installation of his work in the mechanics Barn at RAIR.

You do not have to register, just show up and plan to arrive 10 min early so we can start on time .
