NonSeq: Carrie DeCunzo Mirande + Nour Mobarak

Carrie DeCunzo Mirande is a musician and multi-disciplinary artist who works in performance, video, installation, theater, and sound. She started making computer music in 2014 and over the last decade has released on Discreet Music, Hold Tapes, No Rent Records, and her own imprint, KSX Solutions. She received her MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College. Carrie will share music from her recent LP, My Shadow, released early this year on Discreet Music (Sweden). My Shadow was inspired by Carrie’s failed attempt to set the Book of Luke to music and deals with the beauty and frustration of imperfect expression. She will also debut music from Infinite Bliss, her forthcoming record of intimate songs and abstract electronics created over the past six years. 

Lebanese-American artist Nour Mobarak (b. 1985, Cairo, Egypt) lives and works between Bainbridge Island and Athens, Greece. Mobarak excavates violence and desire in organic and societal bodies – the compulsions, and glitches in a person or nation state. Her body and body of work acts, in voice, sculpture, sound, performance, writing and video, as one hybrid part under current geopolitical conditions. Her works have been shown at  the Museum of Modern Art, NY (2024-2025); Castello di Rivoli, Turin (2024-2025); Miguel Abreu Gallery, NY (2025, 2021, 2019); Sylvia Kouvali, London and Piraeus, (2023, 2017); MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge(2022); Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin (2023). Mobarak’s work is currently included in both the 2026 Whitney Biennial, New York, and In Interludes and Transitions: the 2026 Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale in Saudia Arabia. She has performed at Western Front, Vancouver; the Hammer Museum, LA; Cafe OTO, London; Renaissance Society, Chicago; the Museum of Contemporary Art, SD; and elsewhere. Her music has been released by Recital (Los Angeles), Cafe Oto’s TakuRoku (London), and Ultra Eczema (Antwerp), and is included in the Whitney Museum Library’s Special Collections.
