Latitude 14

Latitude 14 makes works of art that excavate the memory of objects and blur the boundaries of concert, theater, and installation.
 
L14 provides a framework for the artist-driven projects of its co-founders: Christina Campanella (composer, sound artist, performer), Mallory Catlett (creator, director), Stephanie Fleischmann (creator, writer), and Peter Norrman (visual artist, filmmaker).

Press
The New York Times
 “Hymn-like songs…", "dreamlike, impressionistic audio...", "...a gentle, socially distanced return to spectatorship."

The New York Times“Moody, driving music…, lyrical monologues, otherworldly videos and an ingeniously eerie set…a purposefully elusive work, a poetic meditation.”

The Village Voice
“…Sweetly strange…a complete, unique universe…."

13 Sunday Arts/NYC Arts
“It’s too bad that “music-theater” simply doesn’t do justice to it—much like calling Anna Karenina ‘words on paper.‘”

“Campanella's compositions envelop the audience with densely, dexterously woven textures often pulling together heavy rock rhythms, throwback sounds of a toy piano and an accordion, and elegiac cello and vocal patterns.”

Dagblad van het Noorden
“…An ominous and beautiful dream.”

‘Red Fly/Blue Bottle’ Layers Memories in a Multi-media Musical Albany Times Union

New York Press
“A mesmerizing fusion of performance art and multisensory installation…"

Brooklyn Rail
“Each song is a meditation on a moment."

Bust
“…Eye candy, fantastically creepy music, and an expert dash of steampunk fill the stage in this deliciously haunting concert…”
