ELLIOT BERGMAN BRONZE peace BELL TREES

Elliot recently presented a candlelight performance featuring his Bell Trees at The Shepherd, part of Library Street Collective in Detroit—a century-old Romanesque-style church reimagined as a dynamic cultural arts center with multidisciplinary programming. Held in April 2026, the performance celebrated A Meadow in the Clouds, a group exhibition presented by Library Street Collective and curated by Allison Glenn.

The exhibition showcased Bergman's multidisciplinary practice through a suite of striking black-and-white geometric monoprints created from the impressions of precision-tuned bells, alongside hand-cast bell sculptures that function as musical instruments. During the performance, these sculptural bell works were brought to life through sound, creating a dialogue between the exhibition's visual and sonic elements.

A new group performance entitled “Paradise” opened at Ipsum at Sunfair in Hudson, NY on May 29.. He was joined by Warren Defever, Gretchen Gonzales, Erik Hall, Quin Kirchner, Ben Lamar Gay, and Leigha Bianchi. They played the Bell Towers around sunset, which are now installed on their beautiful property. After dark, they moved into the barn and played his new Organ Pipe Marimba, which had been in the works for a few years.
