Following the Monochrome Multitudes student symposium, a UChicago student-organized orchestra and choir will perform French artist Yves Klein’s Monotone Silence Symphony.

Known mostly for his paintings in a blue hue called International Klein Blue, the Monotone Silence Symphony transforms Klein’s monochromatic paintings and sculpture into a monotone auditory experience.

FREE and open to the public. Advanced registration encouraged.

This performance is sponsored by the Logan Center for the Arts and the Feitler Center for Academic Inquiry at the Smart Museum of Art.
