WILLIAM KENTRIDGE combines the political with the poetic. Best known for animated films based on his charcoal drawings, he also works in prints, books, collage, sculpture and the performing arts. Kentridge's premiere of Shotakovich's "The Nose" (based on the Gogol short story) at the Metropolitan Opera coincided with a major retrospective of his work at the Museum of Modern Art.

PAUL HOLDENGRÄBER is the Director of Public Programs – known as LIVE from the NYPL- for The Research Libraries of The New York Public Library. This conversation occurred on March 12, 2010.

• An architect pioneering a new kind of silent architecture in collaboration with the Deaf community at Gallaudet University.
• A special operations soldier in Afghanistan (and former guitarist for Nirvana) who places silence at the heart of survival in war.
• A sound engineer for shopping malls who ensures that the stores we visit never stop their auditory seductions.
• A group of commuters who successfully revolted against piped-in music at Grand Central Station.

PART II. SOUND EXCITEMENT: ARTISTS & SCIENTISTS ON THE HEARD & UNHEARD
Artist
• Wendy Jacob presents Waves and Signs, a performative structure designed to carry low-frequency vibrations that are played through the floor. By sitting, standing, or lying on the stucture, all audience members will be able to experience tactile sound through their bodies- for example: the vibrations produced by spiny shrimp, and, the vibrations communicated between elephants through the ground.

Scientists
• Sheila Patek probes the physical experience of sound in water with Sound Sensations in the Sea.

• Robert Sirvage examines the everyday experience of the visual and tactile world with Deaf Space.

• Caitlin O'Connell Rodwell presents the mechanisms used by elephants to communicate sound with Elephant Rumbles: Communication through the Vibrotactile Sense.

• Hansel Bauman discusses the Deaf Space Project at Gallaudet University.

He set up a lemonade stand. It was a huge success. He brought in almost $40. He could have used the money for himself, but instead he presented it to Renee Blalock, the Director of the Birmingham Public Library.

With his donation, he requested that the librarian order books and a DVD. After purchasing these materials, the librarian told Will he could be the first to check out the books and DVD. This thrilled him. Will's story was an inspiration to us.

We hope that you will be inspired as well. Please visit us at www.bplonline.org to give today.
