For three summer Saturdays of experimental music and art, Long Island City is the place to be. Tomorrow is the second installment of HOLDING SPACE, the outdoor event series which is one of the many facets of SculptureCenter’s 2016 summer program. The concerts are organized by Sam Hillmer, who is the co-founder and director at Trans-Pecos, as well as the creator of ZS, a Brooklyn-based chamber ensemble and noise band. Hillmer, who is also known as Diamond Terrifier, is a visual artist in addition to being a producer and musician.
