Museum unveils Bronte’s teeny tiny early work
A manuscript by British author Charlotte Brontë that fits comfortably into the palm of a hand that fetched 691,000 pounds ($1.1 million) at a Sotheby’s auction in December, more than twice the upper estimate, went on display this week.
Martin Klimas - What Music Looks Like, 2011
Artist’s statement:
“Like a 3-D take on Jackson Pollock, the latest work by Klimas begins with splatters of paint positioned on a scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. Then the volume is turned up. For each image, Klimas selects music—typically something dynamic and percussive, like Stockhausen, Miles Davis or Kraftwerk—and the vibration of the speaker sends the paint aloft in patterns that reveal themselves through the lens of his camera.”
L-R:
1. Miles Davis
2. Paul Hindemith
3. Pink Floyd
4. Kraftwerk
5. Charlie Parker
6. Grace Jones
7. J.S. Bach
what to wear when…wrapped in words. fabric is her ink, her skin is stained with the smudges of old drafts. her body is a piece of text to be fallibly and furiously made and remade. a devotchka is a disguise is a discourse. the curve of a collar, the placement of lace - this is the only vocabulary she has with which to tell her story because her true self is a dead language that tongues trip over and mispronounce. she is both the author and the embodiment of her story, a tangible challenge or perhaps a plea for some cunning linguist to translate it correctly. metatexual becomes sexual and she’s a girl with commas in all the right places (requested by starksandrecreation).
