The new, collaborative piece was woven in the digital lab at the Textiles Museum in Tilburg, The Netherlands, where Kari Dyrdal has been producing work since the early 2000's. It is a semi-translucent, free-hanging piece, viewable from both sides. Two HD video projections are combined. The woven piece is based on an abstracted image of a rippling water surface, combined with vertical stripes in a highly reflective material. The projected images are also sourced from footage focussing on water surfaces and reflections in water. Ambient sounds of water are played back in the exhibition from two of the video works shown on monitors.
Video documentation (3' 30") of the collaborative work can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/366053476
Dear Mr. Welch
ReplyDeleteI have been looking at great videos from your joint exhibition in Trondheim with Kari Dyrdal. The reason for contacting you is this:
Thru a new duo, Coleminkai, we are making original new music and believe parts your installations would fit perfectly to our music, as we find your art amazing.
Coleminkai is in early beginnings. We are a duo where Randi Mossing is singing and I am playing acoustic guitar. We have been accepted to perform in Bø by Patrick Webb's Heapsgood Productions, at a concert where the concept is to represent new original music to the public. They also want us to have a special installation on stage together with the music and we find your installations very attractive.
We will go in studio this year and make professional recordings of our material. We are present on Spotify and will update the site when the studio recordings are ready.
Is there any way we could borrow one or two of your installations for this venue? We will off course do this according to your terms and conditions are open for suggestions. We are also open for economical compensation although our economic possibility is limited at this point of time.
If we reach an agreement, your installation will be exposed in a new arena and get more publicity, which again lead to higher interest in your art.
If it for different reasons is impossible, please let us know asap as the venue in Bø is November the 17th. If you also could be so kind to confirm that you have received this mail I would be grateful.
Best regards
Coleminkai
