    • Most closely associated with the Fluxus international art movement, Alison Knowles first premiered her now celebrated performance Proposition #2: Make a Salad in London in 1962. Presented in Aspen as part of the public program series Marking Ritual in conjunction with the exhibition Ritual, the participatory event recontextualizes an everyday activity for a heightened level of attention, reverence, and meditation. Immediately following, Nicole Woods, Assistant Professor, Modern and Contemporary Art History at the University of Notre Dame, will discuss Knowles’s practice and the historical context of this performance.

    • Presented in collaboration with the Aspen Music Festival and School (AMFS), this free chamber concert series features one-hour performances by the most advanced AMFS students and visiting musicians in Aspen.

    • In observance of changing the iterations of the yearlong exhibition Ritual, this special event presents a piano sound bath and healing experience by award-winning composer and pianist Ravé Mehta. This free, hourlong performance invites participants to sit or lay on the ground and experience a musical journey toward a meditative state that encourages surrendering and tapping into your “flow.” Prior to the performance, Mehta and the AAM’s Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director Heidi Zuckerman will engage in a conversation about flow states. Please bring a cushion or yoga mat.
