Announcing the ESS 2022 Spain Outer Ear Residency

This October ESS partners with the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain for a residency exchange with Spanish artist Clara de Asìs and Chicago artist Veronica Anne Salinas. Clara and Veronica are working together at the ESS studios over the next two weeks. Stay tuned for more updates on public presentations of this exciting collaboration!

Clara is a Spanish composer and performer who explores the nexus of acoustics, spatiality, alternative notation and the phenomenology of attention. Her work focuses on sound perception, developing declinations of growing complexity without losing a surface of simplicity.

Veronica is a Chicago-based artist, writer, editor, and Deep Listener. Her work explores artistic research through sound, text scores, live performance, improvisation, and more. She is currently on the Chicago based label S/N.

Watch Clara give her Chicago premiere performance with an opening solo set at Elastic Arts this Saturday, October 15.

This residency is part of ESS's ongoing Outer Ear Residency Program, which is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. This residency is in partnership with the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain.
