Please join Jeff Kolar for a special live performance in response to the exhibition “The Correct Time” at the Design Museum of Chicago. Beginning on the solar equinox at 8:03 PM CST, the work will respond to the precise moment in time when the Sun crosses the Earth’s equator creating 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. As we then begin descending into the darker months ahead, the piece serves as a reminder that time unites us all.

Jeff Kolar is an independent sound and media artist, composer, and curator. He is the Founder and Artistic Director of Radius, an experimental radio broadcast platform established in 2010. His work, described as “speaker-shredding” (Half Letter Press), “wonderfully strange” (John Corbett), and “characteristically curious” (Marc Weidenbaum), activates sound in unconventional, temporary, and ephemeral ways using appropriation and remix as a critical practice. His solo and collaborative projects, installations, and public performances often investigate the mundane sonic nuances of everyday electronic devices. He has performed and exhibited widely across the United States, and at international venues and festivals such as the New Museum, Museum of Arts and Design, Moogfest, The Kitchen, CTM Festival forAdventurous Music (Germany), Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Kino Šiška (Slovenia), ORF Radio Kulturhaus (Austria), Radio Revolten International Radio Art Festival (Germany), LAK Festival of Nordic Sound Art (Denmark), among others. His work has been reviewed and discussed in international print publications and online platforms such as The New York Times, The Wire Magazine, Red Bull Music Academy and Architect Magazine, and in an array of art, design and music publications including VICE, Art Slant, designboom, and Rhizome.org.
