Amant presents an evening of live performance in conjunction with SHELL, a long-term outdoor installation by Esben Weile Kjær that occupies our lot at 316 Ten Eyck Street. SHELL takes the form of a brutalist fairytale castle, merging historical references with the industrial textures of East Williamsburg to stage a space of tension between fantasy and ruin, spectacle and decay.

In that spirit, this evening brings Kjaer’s installation together with Concrete Husband, a performer whose work fuses historical and pop-cultural imagery with an experimental sensibility. Concrete Husband’s performances fold together raw electronics, manipulated samples, and live instrumentation into an unpredictable sonic terrain. For this program, he will premiere a new work that pushes his practice further into theatrical site-specificity.

Amant programs are always free. RSVPs are strongly encouraged.

More About Concrete Husband

Concrete Husband is a New York City-based producer, DJ, composer, and flutist. He’s released three dance records to critical acclaim, with Document Journal hailing him as “redefining avant-garde composition.” His latest EP, "Your Bitter Tears"—out this month on Aversion Records—takes inspiration from Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s classic film, The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972). Classically trained as a flutist and composer at the New England Conservatory of Music, Concrete Husband draws on a comprehensive knowledge of musical history to create sonic narratives that shimmer with emotional resonance and surrealist imagination. Recent career highlights include opening for Eartheater’s 2024 European tour, scoring the flute music for Ari Aster’s 2023 film Beau is Afraid (A24), and playing Wire Festival for the second consecutive year.
