Clarification

This is the first post of my new blog about my upcoming exhibition at Paradise Valley Community College titled: Musiciphila: Sight, Shape, Sound. The exhibit will be in the lobby/gallery of the Center for Performing Arts on the 32nd St and Union Hills campus in north Phoenix.

All the work in the show will be ceramic made since June. The unifying factor in all the work in the show is that they are designed to make sound. Some pieces will require tapping with a bamboo stick, or with the hands, others will make sounds when moved, or shaken, and some will sound when plucked or strummed.

Instead of the usual signs in an art show saying: "Do not touch!", viewers will be encouraged to interact with the pieces to make sound. The dates of the show are August 20-September 21, 2009. On Saturday, September 19 at 5:30pm, there will be a closing reception during which time all are encouraged to join together for a big jam session when all the pieces will be manipulated at the same time. All are invited to attend. There will be a jazz concert in the theater starting at 7pm following the reception.
