Description

Annea Lockwood
Home Ground

Annea Lockwood’s Home Ground is a site-specific work acoustically mapping selected sites representing diverse environments on the PS21 grounds, carried out by members of the local community. Participants record the soundscapes of that site, especially at dawn and at dusk across the seasons, using audio/video recording, text, drawing, or other graphics via a sound mapping app.

Beginning Groundtone weekend, June 21 at 10 am, the public will be invited to explore the sites, listen, and contribute their own maps during a walk led by Annea Lockwood. If you cannot make it to the walk – the grounds are open dawn to dusk everyday, and all you need is a phone or a piece of paper to participate

The core of the project is that by listening to an environment closely and over time, Spring through Fall, you not only learn the make-up of a site and its ecology, but may also come to sense your part in it – not only how you respond to it but, reciprocally, how or if it responds to your presence e.g. tree frogs quieting when you approach them. From that mutual awareness can come caring. Home Ground is an immersion in the sonic world of a particular small area in the grounds of PS21, thus expanding your personal neighborhood. Over time the sounds ‘native’ to an area become familiar, and accumulate within your sense of that place, like the layers of humus beneath a tree. – Annea Lockwood

Home Ground is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
