On March 30 EdB Contemporary opened a solo show ‘Live Transmissions in Venice’ by Morgan O’Hara (till May 1), curated by Elisabeth de Brabant and Anna Shpilko with the 45 minutes stunning and unique performance.

In the performance, O’Hara documents Saverio Pastor, one of the city’s last master fórcola carvers, as well as sound artist Tiziano Pastor, who was simultaneously threading a live soundscape in response to his father’s work using both electronic and acoustic guitars, the last one – a gift from his father. 
Morgan O’Hara’s Live Transmission series operates at the intersection of forensic precision and empathic resonance, capturing movement in real time through a near-seismographic drawing process. Her practice named “Live Transmissions“ has documented world-renowned conductors, dancers such as Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown, and performance and sound artists from the New York and Japanese avant-garde scenes since the 1970s.

In The Oyster Alcove, French sculptor Adrien Lagrange unveils Venus in Leo, a new site-specific intervention. Known for large-scale metal works, Lagrange, in contrast, turns to fragile, charged forms that hover between marine traces and technological sensorial, revealing the entanglement between matter, memory, and temperature.
