Interdisciplinary artist and musician Marcus Fischer will present “Loops & Layers: Past Work and Present Sound” as part of MacDowell Downtown Friday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m. at Monadnock Center for History and Culture, 19 Grove St.

Fischer will share stories regarding his personal and professional growth as an artist while showing a selection of past installations and sound works. Before taking audience questions, he’ll give a live performance using a magnetic tape looping system that is a signature part of his practice. 

Based in Portland, Ore., Fischer is a first-generation American artist known for his compositions that blend sound, space, and memory. In 2019, he was the only Pacific Northwest artist included in the Whitney Biennial, contributing two sound works and two performances.

In 2024, he was awarded the Hallie Ford Fellowship in the Visual Arts by the Ford Family Foundation. While at MacDowell, Fischer is developing a new body of compositions and sound works for an upcoming installation.  

The event is free and open to all, with advance registration encouraged.
