A long week of helping
hang work in various undergrad final year shows alongside a return to one of my
spiritual homes graphic design - by helping students creating mock up design
objects; LP cases, book covers and folded business cards!
Managed to see/listen to a
body of work by Tristan Murali under the title Klangforum Wein 1 today at
Aldeburgh Festival – my favourite piece was Desintegrations - It was a
wonderful muscular sound – as if Richard Serra had made music! – As Murail himself
put it, “I make music by working the sound matter like a sculptor, revealing
the form that is hidden within the block of stone, rather than constructing it
with bricks, as is the case in a traditional approach”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRuxHVWfQtA
He was there and most excellent in correcting the interviewer about his music.
Looking forward to the
week to come – hanging another exhibition – the Post grad Book Art show at Camberwell,
re-hanging the textiles show at NUA in a morning as work returns from New
Designers and attending the event at Kings as part of Parallel Practices. The
Private View of Cley14 is on Wednesday and I’m on invigilator duty Friday and
Saturday which should be fun.
