Artists Space

Emerging Curators Series:
The Score

May 20 – July 3, 2004

Project Space 1: Robin Rhode

For The Score, Robin Rhode will produce a new performance that incorporates wall drawings and audio recording. Using a broad brush and black paint, Rhode will depict the instruments typical of a classical jazz ensemble while the sound simultaneously replicates and destabilizes the visual representations. Echoing Miles Davis in his gesture to turn away from the audience, Rhode references the conventions of both musical and artistic performance histories. Video documentation produced by Rhode with the assistance of Tobin Yelland will be on view during the exhibition.

Curated by Claire Tancons as part of the Emerging Curators Series.
