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