Studio 170, the Goethe-Institut Boston's artist-in-residence program, hosts artists/architects Aaron Powers and Stratton Coffman with their project Poly Pockets. Inspired by the new street uses that emerged during the pandemic, Poly Pockets is a public art installation in the form of a series of reconfigurable tent structures.

As part of the Poly Pockets installation there will be a listening session on Tuesday, May 16, 7 PM:

Get comfortable among the pocket structures and piles with a drink, and relax to the sound of live ambient creations by local artist A. Campbell Payne. 

A. Campbell Payne is a Massachusetts-based electronic musician with a creative approach that centers on concepts of time, repetition, chance, and perception. Payne's approach to composition incorporates complex rhythmic structures, novel tuning systems based on just intonation and the harmonic series, and intricate generative processes. Drawing inspiration from dance, astronomy, computing, and abstract art, Payne creates sonic environments that are at once approachable and disorienting.
