Stanton Macdonald-Wright, Conception Syncromy, 1914 |
The integration of music in the art-making process has been a documented creative practice since the early 1900s, when visual artists haling from Los Angeles to Moscow began conceiving an art capable of expressing the energy and complexity of the new century. Inspired by innovative technologies, scientific discoveries, and new perspectives on spirituality and psychology, artists searched for ways to transcend representation, and elevate the viewer to a sublime sensory level. For many, music offered a model to which visual art might aspire: pure, abstract form pushing beyond perceivable reality and suggesting limitless space and time. Their endeavors and art became known as “visual music.”
In this workshop, participants will be guided to respond visually, in a variety of ways, to works of music in the studio. This is a process-oriented workshop, meant to open up new channels of creativity. All levels of experience are welcome.
