It’s exciting to experience a sculptural installation come to life, especially one that is intended
It’s exciting to experience a sculptural installation come to life, especially one that is intended to be activated through performance. #CrossingBrooklyn artist David Horvitz’s 47 suspended bells, melted from a single French church bell from 1742, at the start of the exhibition is arguably the most tempting installation to touch in the entire museum. Hanging from thin wires, the bells—still, silent, unstirring—immediately conjure the memory of ringing to my mind.For this week’s Target First Saturday, the artists of Crossing Brooklyn are taking over our programming for the evening, and you will be able to hear those ever-so-tempting bells in a unique musical performance. Working closely with David Horvitz, jazz percussionist Ches Smith, whose experimental rhythms you might have heard during his fall residency at The Stone, created a new, extended composition for vibraphone, timpani and 47 bells.Posted by Margo Cohen Ristorucci -- source link
