Night Sounds is a new performance series that parallels Night (1947–2015), a contemporary "sculpture-in-residence" project for the Philip Johnson Glass House that contends with the legacy of Alberto Giacometti's missing sculpture, Night. Each live on-site performance is paired with one of seven sculptures created through the Night (1947–2015) residency. The events will be documented by Derrick Belcham, who will produce a short film available online free of charge. Night Sounds invites the attending audience and online viewers to reinterpret the Glass House while reflecting on the interplay of presence and absence on this historic site.

Jordan Stein is the program coordinator of Night Sounds and the guest curator of Night (1947–2015). He is a cofounder/director of Will Brown, an experimental exhibition and program space in San Francisco. Stein is also the founder of Glass, house, a project-based curatorial initiative that explores notions of transparency and reflectivity in contemporary art practice and presentation. With artists and nonartists, Glass, house publishes books, makes films, and releases records. At the Exploratorium, a museum of human perception in San Francisco, he is currently developing projects with artists Harrell Fletcher, Lucky Dragons, and Fujiko Nakaya.

The Glass House, a National Trust Historic Site, offers its forty-nine-acre campus as a catalyst for the preservation and interpretation of modern architecture, landscape, and art and as a canvas for inspiration and experimentation honoring the legacy of Philip Johnson (1906–2005) and David Whitney (1939–2005).
