To celebrate CUAG’s 25th anniversary and Carleton University’s 75th anniversary, CUAG has commissioned Jesse Stewart, a musician, sound artist and Carleton music professor, to create a series of live performances and sound installations.

These performances will happen inside Stewart’s portable geodesic dome, set up at different sites on the Carleton campus throughout 2017.

Hooked on Bibliophonics, Stewart’s first performance, takes place on Monday, 23 January, from 12 – 1 p.m. on the main floor of the MacOdrum library. It features a “bibliophone,” a xylophone-like instrument made by Stewart out of amplified books.

An inventive and experimental artist, Stewart performs on a wide variety of percussion instruments, including many of his own design and built out of such materials as ice, cardboard, stone and glass.
