CHICAGO, IL.- Even before Bowie united them in
song, sound and vision had been closely intertwined in the visual and audio art
recordings of the early 1970s. This focused exhibition of a dozen works in
various media explores the symbiotic relationship between art and music,
presenting humorous yet rigorous investigations in which the two do not connect
in any synesthetic sense but rather come together via acts of
transposition—balls cast aloft are made to resemble notes in a musical score,
honking drivers are photographed in mock (and silent) symphonic array, artists’
names are called out as if by imaginary birds.
