A Massive Storm

Here is another install shot of Brent's current show up in New York! A new film, a new sculpture and a new soundtrack! Woohoo! If you can't make it to the show (!!which is up until June 23rd so you have plenty of time!!) you can actually hear one of the first demos of the soundtrack over here to get a tiny bit of the bigger picture...Brent begins each of his films with scraps of his writings which he then takes into the barn and screams and beats on instruments and pounds his foot, scaring away all wildlife, creating the first step in his layered soundtracks that are at the core of everything he does. The demos, which are rarely used in the end, are a small building block of the first step towards a larger project which, in this case, has turned into an engulfing sensory experience that you can only view in person! When I was passing through the gallery last week a woman made space for me to sit and view the piece and said "Sit, it is important work" an encounter that made me tear up a little thinking of this demo and the time spent working towards an understanding audience...so please, go see this piece that we are so very proud of!
