Pelavin Gallery presents the newest segment of their ongoing concert series. Next Thursday 31 March, from six to eight in the evening. The Flux Quartet violinists Tom Chiu and Conrad Harris will be joined by violinist Gregor Kitzis and composer Adam Steiglitz to realize a live sound experience of Rosa Ruey’s current exhibition of Big Machine. The reincarnation of Steiglitz’s soundscapes with the composer on laptop and and three of NYC’s most cutting-edge improvisers is an event not to be missed. Watch Ruey’s works come to life on the spot in an audio visceral way.
Rosa Ruey: Big Machine
Ruey’s work is sculptural in nature. She employs drawing and collage as a way to create fantastic structures and spaces on paper. This work is part of a new series that involves drawn and hand-printed elements that are collaged to build up whimsical machine-like structures. Ruey’s work is labor intensive with manic detail that constitutes an optimistic interpenetration of natural and industrial building blocks. The individual components that make up each piece—abstracted industrial and domestic forms—are meant to unravel the viewers associations with the objects in their environment. Each component is infused with a bright artificial hue referencing colors found in popular and contemporary culture. The combination of these saturated colors is a form of exaggeration that aids in placing the work in the realm of another world.
