New Media Gallery

Jack Straw New Media Gallery

Thinking Caps

by Vaughn Bell

In this installation Vaughn Bell suggests a mountain landscape made for urban conditions. Four mountains, arranged in an orderly manner, each offer sounds of water, ice, or other elements of a mountainous landscape.  Passing through the gallery space and sitting within the interior of a mountain, the grand vista of landscape is brought to human scale, immediate and accessible. At the same time, this fabricated landscape is clearly fragile and ephemeral, made of paper and recorded sounds.
