On the 16th of August 2008, at 5 pm, GO Gallery will present the exhibition Aerosol Symphonies Part-II.
In the exhibition Aerosol Symphonies (Aerosol = spray can), the world of classical music and street art come together to create a totally new art form.
30 artists from the world of street art have let themselves be inspired by a piece of classical music. This music, its origin and the story is then thoroughly studied. The artists then compose an artwork of their own, through the inspiration from the piece of classical music. The participating artists are:
Laser 3.14 (co-curator), Two Things, Maoma, Modderfokker, The London Police, SIT, Juice, Peter Pontiac, Def P, Hugo Kaagman, Blade, Quik, Weazel, Wayne Horse, L’estoir, Pleasant, The Hope Box, Faith 47,Michan, Roos de Waal, Dopie, Riccardo Cavalleri, Casroc, Barnocky, e.a.
Finnish singer and violinist Mirella Pirskanen, will give a special performance at the opening. She gained international acclaim for her performances with Cirque du Soleil, Holiday on Ice & Flairck.
The exhibition will be on display until mid October 2008.
Remi Vervloet:
Beethoven’s Fifth and obvious LAST child.
I do not think I will ever witness perfection in music. I know this is perfection I hear. If perfection be that than which there can be no better. But I cannot witness Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony". I can only experience it. It's perfect!
Weazel: Intriguing isn't it, the way we are?
Produced from experience and mixed emotion
Each one of us is unique
Yet we remain components within the creation
Of the Symphonie Mechanique
I find it beguiling,
To watch in motion the components of mechanized device
Designed to create an abstract notion like time
Which can often become a vice
Timing created for every sound
For a composition about eternity
The notes in turn find their place
All important parts
Of a profound Mechanical Symphony
We are souls with a mask we call a face
The variety of forms are vast
The pieces contained within
Are not from the same cast
We are complex yet very simple
True meaning is what we seek
Take your place we're about to begin
You are a part
Of the Symphonie Mechanique
Wayne Horse. Classical Music Helps Us Feel Intelligent 1-3. This series of paintings is not inspired by one classical song in particular, but by a popular view on classical music as such. Just like it is nearly impossible to eat a banana without a certain 'hang loose' attitude it is difficult to listen to classical music without a selfrighteous sense of being sophisticated. The music of the gods. Classical music equals a sophisticated, well off life. While hopefully not intended that way, it became the image of the music. People use this image as a mask, listen to classical music not only, but also for the connected values. Still, if these values are in the music, they transfer to whoever is listening to it. The aim of these paintings was to take classic music out of its holy throne and face the impact it has on us. Part two of this work will be a cd containing twelve techno remixes of the most renown classical music. This project will be sponsored by RedBull. And pepsi max. Graphic Surgery: "Trilogy" The black and white painting is created in 3 stages based on 3 different symphonies. 1st: Alan Petterson, Symphony no 7. Expressive dark strokes on blank canvas. 2nd: Antonin Dvorack, New world symphony no 9. White lineair random patterns using stencils. 3rd: Philip Glass, Rubric. Black and white lines constructed with masking tape. In the end it turned out to be quite a never-ending process. Unfortunatly it wasn't captured on film and animated along the music.
