Current Project: The Bowls Project is a performance installation and interactive sound sculpture that takes place in a 40’ vaulted dome. Featuring new music composed and performed by Jewlia Eisenberg and Charming Hostess, The Bowls Project is based on texts from ancient Babylonian amulets.

An estimated 15,000 people will visit and interact with the installation.
