This Saturday evening, OKOK Gallery in Ballard will present three compositions from the inaugural Environmental Aesthetics Satsop Residency by Seattle sound artist Yann Novak, Olympia quartet Problems, and Olympia artist Myello. The artists were granted access to the #5 abandoned nuclear cooling tower in Elma Washington where they were invited to sonically interpret this epic industrial monument. The sound performance is accompanied by projected photography.
For years, local sound artists have revered the Satsop cooling tower for its reverberent properties. It’s fenced off now, so it’s a real treat to hear work that was produced there.
Yann Novak has done wonderful collaborations and installations with others at On the Boards, The Henry, Soil, and Suyama Space among others. Check out his site at yannnovak.com.
It should be a dreamy experience. The OKOK gallery will be transformed.
