Sounding the City – Guelph 2018
Sounding The City – Guelph 003 is the accompanying publication for the IICSI / Musagetes 2018 Improvisers-in-Residence Jen Reimer and Max Stein’s culminating eponymous residency project and exhibition held at the Boarding House Gallery in September 2018. The book includes detailed photo documentation of Reimer and Stein’s sound installations and acoustic interventions, mounted throughout Guelph during the 2018 Guelph Jazz Festival & Colloquium. The foreword, “Being Alone in Guelph’s Liminal Spaces,” was written by IICSI Graduate Research Assistant Rachel Elliott, and the map of the installation was designed by Urban Geographer, Daniel Rotsztain.
