"Reverb" is the intriguing result of a dialogue between American artist Jorge Pardo and Italian sculptor Gilberto Zorio. Interwoven into Project (2000) - Pardo's redesign of Dia's bookshop, lobby, and gallery - and partially enveloped by his new monumental curtain is Microfoni, a sound work first created by Zorio in 1969.
