Chopin Residue NYCExhibition, audiovisual installation, live performanceNovember 2025
Chopin Residue by Mariusz Szypura is a multidisciplinary exhibition that reinterpreted the legacy of Fryderyk Chopin through contemporary sound and visual art. Shown at Fridman Gallery, the exhibition featured visual works paired with original music inspired by Chopin’s heritage. As part of the exhibition opening, selected pieces were performed live by the album’s artists, including Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), John Stanier (Helmet, Battles, Tomahawk) and Zoh Amba. This activated the space and offered a unique, site-specific interpretation of the project’s themes.
