TateShots Issue 15 - Tony Conrad

http://www.tateshots.com

American artist Tony Conrad employs a battery of amplified strings, film projectors, electric drills and assorted machinery to create a high-octane sonic assault. Unprojectable: Projection and Perspective is a live performance conceived specially for the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. The musicians and their unorthodox instruments are visible to the audience only as projections cast onto giant screens. TateShots was there to capture this one-off experience.

Wow gotta love that minor chord that pops out from all the drilling... it was always there but we didn't know we could hear it.

Tony you are the best... you have taken your ground breaking mathamatical discoveries in sound art, shadow works(what do you see when you can't see what you want) and your earlier work around seductions/power issues in video performance art, and combined all these concepts in these series of live performances. I feel so fortunate to have seen a similar performance to this at San Francisco Art Institute.
