Heft
NYC art gallery partnering with artists who use, and address, the ubiquitous systems of contemporary life. Partnering with a fluid roster of artists, the gallery shows a wide spectrum of work – emphasizing inventive uses of traditional materials, memorable experiences, and provocative artworks that are rapidly gaining recognition for advancing the New Systems art movement.
Heft created the TRANSMISSIONS initiative to bring together important musical experiences with a range of systems based fine artworks at their LES gallery. Running from May 15 – June 12 at Heft.
VOLUMES Listening System
Volumes Speakers are conceived as spatial instruments rather than conventional audio equipment. Each unit integrates five drivers, including front- and rear-firing elements that create a layered, multidirectional sound field. Paired with dedicated stereo subwoofers, the system produces both clarity and physical weight. Sound moves through the room rather than projecting from a fixed point, extending beyond the conventional stereo image. The result is an embodied listening experience where rhythm, frequency, and spatial information are perceived through the body as well as the ear.
