In Our Time, As It Was In Yours (Transmisión)

Death Convention Singers led a sonic and visual procession through Santa Fe’s historic plaza as part of the exhibition An Evening Redness in the West, radiating the brutal energy and aesthetic of the apocalypse using custom instruments. We installed our cart live in the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, along with additional art work from members of the collective and yellowed water from the Animas River disaster.

The title was taken from “Expert Judgment on Markers to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, Sandia National Laboratories report SAND92-1382.”
