Chicago-based artists Hali Palombo and Mark Booth will present new works to kick off pt.fwd's 2024-2025 season at Illinois Art Station. Local musician Harley Rose will open the show.

Palombo will be presenting a longform sound collage composed from original classical composition and hundreds of numbers stations collected from shortwave radio during COVID lockdown. The numbers stations are creatively manipulated to sound otherworldly, romantic, and in some cases, nothing like what they are.

Booth will speak and play small sounds in a new piece for pt.fwd.
