Program Notes:
bent space was commissioned by Peter Dodds and Samuel Livingston for the Positive Space exhibit in conjunction with the University of Michigan Museum of Modern Art. The title refers to both the unique apse-like space in which the piece was premiered, and also to Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, which predicts that space can be bent. Einstein’s theory has been substantiated through several remarkable experiments, most notably by the observation of a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, where light from stars behind the sun are visible on earth as the light is bent around the sun’s surface.
