DURATIONS Festival returns November 9–15 2026 as a week-long, multi-disciplinary exploration of sound and connection. Now in its fifth iteration, the festival’s programming is its most robust yet, with seven days of music, talks, and audiovisual work taking place between Public Records, Pioneer Works, Roulette, and Whitney Museum of American Art. From William Basinski’s three-night run in The Sound Room, to buttechno’s and Eiko Ishibashi’s A/V sets, to dinner with Breadtree Farms, Afrikan Science’s UPSTAIRS excursion, Terre Thaemlitz’s debut live piano performance, and so much more, we look forward to a seminal week of innovation and forward-thinking. Festival passes grant access to every event across every venue, except the Whitney. Free admission tickets to the museum are available on the museum website. “…there is no state of mind, however simple, which does not change every moment, since there is no consciousness without memory, and no continuation of a state without the addition, to the present feeling, of the memory of past moments.” – Henri Bergson, An Introduction to Metaphysics
