PNYX.
"Art is a function of posession of speech"
Tony Conrad (New York avantgard musician and visual artist)
Reference: The Pnyx is a hill in central Athens. Beginning as early as 507 BC, the Athenians gathered on the Pnyx to host their popular assemblies, thus making the hill one of the most important sites in the creation of democracy.
PNYX. is an improv sound performance. An open collective ritual which creates a space. A space of freedom and interaction. A gathering made by the dialogue of unexpected sounds unveiling an ecstatic and liminal narration on the transcendent strength within humanity.
