Tocsin: A multimedia installation by Liz Nofziger
Submitted by daniel on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 12:14
 SPI and the Berwick are happy to have acted as a fiscal sponsor for Boston-based multimedia artist Liz Nofziger who is currently developing Tocsin, a new temporary art installation to be held in the newly renovated Engine Company 40 Firehouse in East Boston, MA. Tocsin is a non-narrative, multimedia installation exploring anticipation, expectation, immediacy, fear, and safety at a moment when many social, environmental, political, and personal alarms are sounding. Using simple tones as basic and effective means of communication, this immersive sensual environment will create a physical experience for viewers to carry beyond the installation. The title, Tocsin, is defined first as an alarm sounded on a bell, or a bell used to sound an alarm, and also as a warning, or an omen. Sited in a long-abandoned former civic space, this work marks the transformation of Engine Company 40 Firehouse into an inspiring cultural space—new home to ZUMIX, a non-profit organization dedicated to building community through music and the arts. This project is possible through the generous support of the LEF Foundation and ZUMIX. When: December 5—20, 2009* Hours: Wed.—Fri. 4—6 p.m. Opening Reception: Saturday, December 12, 2009 3—6 p.m. Where: ZUMIX, Engine Company 40 Firehouse, 260 Sumner Street, East Boston, MA 02128 Cost: Free and open to the public.
