Let’s Get Lost is a drawing by linn meyers which fills the interior of the Walker Gallery, composed in conjunction with Listening Glass, an optical, physical and sonic experience created by Rebecca Bray, James Bigbee Garver, Josh Knowles, and linn meyers. Using the drawing as a score, visitors interact with the visual art to generate sound, creating improvised musical compositions through gesture. Made possible by a gift from David and Barbara Roux P’14.

Jointly on view from September 27, 2018 — September 29, 2019

Installation

For Let’s Get Lost, meyers uses the four niches in the BCMA’s Charles Follen McKim- designed Walker Gallery to drive the composition of her wall drawing.

Listening Glass grew from meyers’s recent 2016—17 installation at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, where she created a 400-foot long drawing entitled Our View From Here.
