Explore the facets of harmony with artist Conrad Freiburg, physicist Heinrich Jaeger, and musicologist Larry Zbikowski through Freiburg’s exhibition “It Is What It Isn’t” presented by Graham School of General Studies and the Hyde Park Art Center. Artist Mia Ruyter will moderate this discussion that will allow these three speakers to examine how different types of knowledge inform our thinking and how each of these ways of thinking converge and diverge on the subject of harmony, movement, and language. See Freiburg’s 12-foot tall harmonograph, a drawing machine that creates pictures of musical chords, as well as his hand-crafted telescope, musical instruments, and “destruction station”. Freiburg’s ukulele and Zbikowski’s guitar may enliven the discussion.

Hyde Park Art Center, 5020 S. Cornell Ave., Chicago. Saturday, May 7th from 2:00pm to 3:30. Tickets: $20 for HPAC non-members and $15 for HPAC members.
