An East End Sound Map

The Arts Center at Duck Creek presented An East End Sound Map: Cal Fish, Becca Rodriguez, and ONE LANDSCAPE, a four-day immersive installation and interactive program exploring the sonic, ecological, and narrative layers of the East End landscape. Artists Cal Fish and Becca Rodriguez invited the public into a rich sensory environment that combines sound sculpture, handmade media, community mapping, and collective memory.

Utilizing field recordings and materials gathered from East Hampton sites—including Louse Point, the Walking Dunes, Beachampton, and Sunset Road (commonly known as Squaw Road)—the artists transformed the gallery into a living archive. The installation features participatory sound sculptures, pigment-based paper works, soft sculpture, and a speculative map shaped by oral histories, conversations, and fieldwork. Rooted in archival research with the collective ONE LANDSCAPE and developed during the artists’ 2024 residency at The Watermill Center, the project offered audiences a dynamic invitation to engage with the land as a vessel of story, grief, resilience, and interconnectedness. Through a series of workshops, conversations, and performances, the program cultivates an evolving portrait of place grounded in experimentation, care, and collaboration.
