Sarah Hennies • ”The Monon Line”

The Monon Line, a defunct railroad that once connected Indianapolis, to Louisville, Kentucky and to Chicago, Illinois, as well as other Midwest cities. All of these cities have played a part in the life of percussionist and composer Sarah Hennies. Today the Monon Line is better known as the Monon Trail--a converted multi-use pedestrian and bike path that exists within an odd confluence of highways, roads, greenway, and trainline. The hum and vibration of all these moving parts, sits alongside a large parcel of land wedged between the interstates that is off-limits to pedestrian access. The Monon Line address this as the real and imagined sound within this space where bodies move freely to walk, listen, and linger while passing over and along the ghosts of the now removed tracks. There is presence in the absences of opportunity to explore this land fully. In The Monon Line, Hennies work draws on repetition as a methods for the construction of the presence and absence of spaces—both on and off the trail.
