></span>Meredith Monk. Calling</i></a> is the most comprehensive
survey to date dedicated to the artist's multidisciplinary work,
presenting Meredith Monk's oeuvre as innovative, multi-sensorial
installations embracing the cross-disciplinary way in which she has
worked throughout her career.<br>
</div>
<div>Monk (b. 1942, New York) pushes the boundaries of music, theater,
dance, video, and installation, seamlessly working across disciplines
while continuously exploring the evocative power of the human voice.
She is considered a groundbreaking figure in site-specific
performance, and her interdisciplinary approach has had a significant
influence on subsequent generations of artists and performers. The
survey offers a long overdue analysis of Monk's practice through art
historical, feminist, and philosophical lenses and shows her continued
influence in thinking about universal values, humanity's
relationship to nature, and planetary consciousness.<br>
</div>
<div>The exhibition restages Monk's early site-specific works and
presents her recent multimedia installations, including the newly
commissioned<i> Songs of Ascension Shrine</i> (2023), a three-channel
audio-video work that developed from a collaboration with the artist
Ann Hamilton. In addition, diverse materials including unpublished
compositions, photographs, drawings, posters, film footage, objects,
and costumes, retrace the various stages of her career and the wider
artistic network in which Monk has moved: a cosmos of interconnected
exchange that started in downtown New York in the 1960s.<br>
