Created and performed by New York-based artist composer and performer Jeremy Toussaint-BaptisteGet Low (Black Square) engages Kazimir Malevich’s 1915 painting Black Square as a starting point to consider notions of visibility and performativity. The work is a continuation of Toussaint-Baptiste’s research of “hyper-audible” object-environments, in which inaudible tones are physically felt within the body using ultra low-frequency subwoofers and darkness.
