Musical Performance — Ellen Fullman
Located in the BAM Galleries.
In 1981, composer Ellen Fullman invented the Long Stringed Instrument, an installation of dozens of wires fifty feet or more in length, played with rosined fingers. The instrument explores natural tunings based on the overtone series and the physics of vibrating strings. Fullman will perform recent compositions for solo and ensemble on wires stretched across the gallery, turning the museum itself into a resonating instrument.
