The days of happenings and Fluxus signaled a pivotal transition and a prophetic glimpse into Post (Post) Modern art.

The times when artists sat around and drank beer ushered its way into the cannon of conceptual fine art. Also known as relational art, relational […]

If you haven’t guessed from recent posts, language and text-based art have been on my mind lately. This also means I’m looking at words and reading a bit more attentively than usual. Bruce Nauman’s piece, One Hundred Live and Die, displays a wide array of short sentences with words ‘live’ or ‘die’. His simple use […]

It’s forthcoming. I’ve got so much stuff in the pipeline and as mentioned, it’s been a pretty hectic and draining (to say the least). […]

Sonami’s selected artist for the Spread exhibition was artist, Jacqueline Gordon. Yet another amazing artist that does incredible work exploring architecture and how sounds (whether from the outside coming into a designated space or synthesized sound) affects both the space and the listener.

Although a pretty lengthy video, it’s worth the time and energy especially if you are into experimental music and abstract sounds. For the last installment of my reflections on the Spread Exhibition, which is unfortunately over, I’m working through the last pair that includes this incredible vanguard sound artist, Laetitia Sonami!
