In tandem with Sadie Benning’s exhibition Pain Thing, the Wexner Center is hosting three musical performances in the spirit of the band Le Tigre, whose eponymous debut featured Sadie Benning as a principal member. Playing in the center’s galleries amid Benning’s work, these events evoke both Le Tigre’s musical legacy and the spirit of the exhibition.

Echoing Le Tigre’s often volatile mix of discordance and pop music pith, Empath finds its working method somewhere in the contrast between verdant vocals and guitar, boisterous rhythms, and clamorous synths. In this confluent wash of sound and sensibilities, there’s a core sensitivity in the way Empath connects and communicates—both among its members and with the audience.
