Julianne Swartz: Terrain Trailer - IMA

Indianapolis Museum of Art - IMA

February 8 - May 4, 2008

Julianne Swartz is known for her sculptural installations that subvert traditional social conceptions of space. Her sculptures often embody metaphors for tender communication, the fragility of the body and the vulnerability and potency of the human heart. Swartz's piece, Terrain, features a colorful web of 12 channels of sound. Utilizing hundreds of speakers to emit hushed whispers, the piece emanates sounds reminiscent of blowing leaves or a gentle wind. Swartz asked multiple subjects to think of someone that he or she felt tenderness for, and to say what he or she would whisper in that person's ear. Swartz has woven these comments so that visitors will hear abstract, yet discernable moments of conversation, but will not be able to follow each comment in its entirety.

I disagree with everything that you are. I've actually seen this piece in person, and I like it.  What is your definition of art? Please send me a link to the amazing art you've produced.

Lucky, are you trying to write anti-semitic* comments on every youtube video?

* Antisemitism (alternatively spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism, also known as judeophobia) is prejudice and hostility toward Jews as a religious, racial, or ethnic group. While the term's etymology indicates that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, since its creation it has been used exclusively to refer to hostility towards Jews.
