ETERNAL: Elements Outdoor Public Art Performance Session 1: Friday, June 13th, 2025 • 5-6:30pmArts Night Out Venue: A.P.E. Gallery, 126 Main St, Northampton, MA 01060 - REAR ENTRANCE (adjacent to Armory St. Lot) Event Time: Friday, June 13 • 5-6:30pm A.P.E. is thrilled to present ETERNAL: Elements, a live painting and beat-making public art event, with graffiti artist LESN101 and sample-based musician NAGO. During this unique outdoor public event – taking place over 4 evenings from June thru October – audiences will experience the creation of a graffiti mural and sample-based tracks that emerge from the alchemical connection between the Springfield-based artists, NAGO and LESN101. In this latest iteration of their collaborative, improvisational project, ETERNAL, the artists draw inspiration from the classical elements of air, earth, fire, and water and demonstrate that the quality of composition is not governed by the complexity of materials, but by the strength of the cypher. Expanding on the success of their gallery events during last summer’s ARC residency at A.P.E., LESN101 and NAGO take this project back to the streets, this time focussing their real-time artistic process on the oft-neglected space behind A.P.E. All performances will take place on the public walkway behind A.P.E.’s Main Street Gallery (adjacent to the Armory St. parking lot) with LESN painting on A.P.E.’s garage door and NAGO cutting samples nearby. After the performance, a recording of NAGO’s creation will be available via QR code link posted near LESN’s painting. This project is supported by a grant from the Northampton Arts Council, along with sustained support from Massachusetts Cultural Council and The Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts’ Valley Creates program, and Commonwealth Murals. @apearts @masscultural @communityfoundationwmass @lesn101 @love.nago (fb)
