Arrangement for a Silent Orchestra
Julie Comnick

Arrangement for a Silent Orchestra is a painting and video project that explores the gradual dissolution of culture in contemporary society through the symbolic ruin of a personal and cultural icon, the violin. Using the violin as a metaphor, I raise questions about the relationship between advancing technology and diminishing cultural heritage. I invite the audience to consider what makes the instrument precious in their own experience, and also the cultural context that could allow for its loss.

The Artist Talk will also feature a solo violin performance by the artist and will be followed by a reception.

 

Exhibition Run: August 21 – October 10, 2019
Artist Talk: Thursday, October 10, at 5:00pm
