grid + flow
Jackson Art Center
Washington, DC
July 26, 2025
In this site-specific response to the Jackson Art Center, as a one day pop-up experience, Elizabeth Casqueiro weaves sound and painting into a layered reflection on a polarized America.
The exhibition consists of six double-faced panels inspired by Washington’s iconic buildings, and a soundscape collaboration “Citimusak”

SOUNDSCAPE

Citimusak influses the exhibition space with sounds of the city, reinforcing the idea that the city’s grid and flow are a metaphor for life and an inspiration for the exhibition. The sounds are experienced as a collectively created symphony.
Over a period of several months, four sound artists recorded their aural impressions of Washington DC, using their cellular phones. The audio clips were lightly edited into four separate ten-minute sequences.
Soundscape collaborators:
Frank Day, Kristin Durfee, Sandra Pires, and Joan Rogliano.
