Sundays on Broadway and co-curators Jade Manns & Weis present an evening of performance and video by Jennifer Monson, Zeena Parkins, Cathy Weis and Isa Spector.

Jennifer Monson will present move thing, solo (surfacing layer 1), which is the result of a month-long research residency in New Mexico, in sites around uranium mines, the 1945 Trinity atomic bomb test site, and post industrial urban spaces.

Zeena Parkins, a pioneer of contemporary harp practice, will perform an improvised duet with her decades-long collaborator, Jennifer Monson. Parkins will perform a short solo following their duet.

Isa Spector will present a duet that explores the relationship between gesture and form, object and feeling, and the ineffable amount of time it takes for an image to load.

Cathy Weis and longtime collaborator Jennifer Monson will perform an improvised duet. Weis will also show a short video she made in 1998, called The Pupa, in which Monson is the performer and Steve Hamilton the sound artist.
