I am part of BRDG Galleries October group exhibition entitled “Interplay” influenced by and in collaboration with opera and performance. Thank you Brett for the opportunity to be part of such a unique exhibition prompt!
Presented by Mile-Hi Modern and curated by Matarazzo, Dowling and opera singer Leah Podzimek, Interplay – Art + Opera is a collaboration between musicians (Soprano Podzimek, Mezzo-Soprano Kira Dills-DeSurra and pianist Jessica Nilles Kressin) and more than 30 contemporary visual artists commissioned by BRDG project. The show exists as a sort of feedback loop between the mediums, with the idea that each constantly informs and recontextualizes the other.
The project began with a presentation, where the musicians performed select movements for the artists to inspire their artwork for the exhibition. The music engaged with the notions of love and lust, grief and death.
I created two works in response to each music track.
