European Premiere of Pierrot's First Musing and World Premiere of Pierrot's Second Musing. Poetry by Christie Finn.

Pierrot's First Musing

Pierrot pictured Columbine's heart 
as an egg--not a live kind, but 
one of marble, that was 
sacrificed from some 
ancient Greek altar and now 
found itself surrounded 
by skin and ribs. 
"Odd," it thought, 
and as cracking was not 
an option, it merely spun, 
slower than our globe 
(though the opposite 
direction) and relished 
its increasing smoothness.

Pierrot's Second Musing

Pierrot felt distanced from
the moon.  As a child, he
had dreamt himself closer
and closer to the bright one--
or perhaps the moon
had inched up on him--
until the moon was
there--every day--
an object for use,
like a soccer ball or 
school lunch or glasses
to see the world clearly.

At some point, upon his
daily arrival, Pierrot
must have fooled his
wide eyed friend,
and slid like a seal
around the moon's
dark side, and in his
confusion, the moon
changed his orbit.

Pierrot only noticed the
change after the change
had happened.

Well, I think distance is what 
we need anyway, thought Pierrot.
They say that those who
spend too much time together
start to look like each other.


Pierrot's Musings

perdido y el amor

Commissioned by the Carnegie Museum Art of Pittsburgh. Gallery Cloud is a response to Rembrant's Three Trees. Featuring Neil Newton and myself.

The Three Trees is known as one of Rembrandt’s largest and most detailed etched landscapes. In it, a fisherman angles by the pond as an artist paints on the hill. The trees leaves bloom upward like cumulous clouds anchored to the earth. But there is something curious about the shapes in the sky. Rembrandt cut ominously dark straight lines to the left, and swirling masses on the right. Hazy figurations trail off into the horizon. Something unreal is in the air forming these clouds. Whatever is happening above, it is the same air that the fisherman and artist breathe as they continue unfettered. My composition, Gallery Cloud, puts air into motion–sound. Like the air around the clouds in the etching, the guitars present new figuration from a few different strokes. A recording made while walking throughout the museum orients you to the space you are in at this moment like the air that the artist and fisherman breathe. Between the guitars and the recording a new cloud emerges, with Rembrandt’s The Three Trees as the focal point in front of you.

Nothing repeated

The title is a poem by Gregory Abels. 

I showed this piece to Mike Perdue and he wrote this:

This is a sick twisted lava lamp.
Fava beans in a swamp.
Stick stirring     damn
