Stone Soup

Sunview Luncheonette, Brooklyn, NY, 2019

http://www.thesunview.org/luba-drozd/

Inspired by the European folk tale about the value of sharing with strangers, Luba Drozd’s Stone Soup will celebrate the soundings of the Sunview Luncheonette’s architecture, objects and purpose with a uniquely site-specific installation. The work will turn the Sunview—a once family-operated diner that is now a member-run cooperative space for art and poetics—into a vibrating, humming drone environment. Layers of cooking stone sounds and 3D animated projections will interact with materials which in turn modulate the sound on the counters, booths and kitchen space. Using cookware, stones, pots, plates, piano strings, vibrations and projection as materials, Drozd will animate the diner’s objects, and sound its ongoing history and community.
