The TIMARA Gallery, now known as the Performance Technology Lab (PTL or PeTaL), is a big, blank, empty space. It is available to students for recitals, to document projects, build installations, rehearse, test an idea, practice a setup, and so much more. The Gallery is one of our newest spaces, and in just a year it has hosted everything from a pizza party to junior and senior recitals, to David Tudor's Rainforest IV.

TIMARA majors may reserve PeTaL for degree recitals and installations. To make a recital reservation, reserve your desired slot on the TIMARA Performance Technology Lab calendar for the desired period with your name and the type of event followed by (tentative hold). Then, open a ticket with the relevant details (event, date, etc.). Your request will be discussed at the next department meeting. If your request is approved, you may remove the (tentative hold) after your name and the event name.
All gear MUST be torn down by the end of your event reservation. If you have asked for and received permission to leave the gear in the depot after your event, you must still have all gear torn down, put away properly into all cases, and organized neatly along the back wall of the gallery. Any furniture that was removed must be replaced. Failure to reset the gallery after your event may result in loss of gallery privileges. Thanks for your understanding and help keeping the gallery clean and organized for the next class or reservation.
If you no longer need the gallery for your event, please be sure to delete the reservation so others may make use of the space.

While TIMARA majors and instructors receive priority in scheduling special events, recitals, installations, and rehearsals in the gallery, others in the Oberlin community are welcome to request the space. The maximum reservation period is one week; shorter reservations will be easier to accommodate. Reservations early in the semester are typically much more feasible to accommodate than end-of-semester reservations. If you would like to visit the TIMARA Gallery to determine whether it is a good fit for your project, please get in contact with our studio engineer, Abby Aresty by opening a ticket. If you decide you would like to make a reservation request, please again open a ticket and we will get back to you ASAP.
