Ten x Ten is a collaboration between visual artists and musicians exploring visual and auditory interaction.

Through producing a limited edition compilation and public presentation of the resulting artworks, Ten x Ten documents, celebrates, and promotes Chicago’s artistic community.

OF SOUND AND LINE

terror and grace
where is the wound

a sense of urgency
elongating, unraveling

immediacy
delicate birdsong, an alien thing

structure queered by animal improvisation
confident lines in a strange sky
