RESONANCES
Performance + Sound Installation
by DORSEY DUNN
April 4-June 20
Friday, April
Sat
Jack Straw Productions presents Resonances, a sound installation that begins with a live electro-acoustic improvisational performance in the gallery and continues as an extended aural ‘dying-away’ of the event itself over the course of the exhibition. Music and sound captured during the opening will slowly disappear in a long series of disintegrating reverberations, from an intense beginning to a final period that is spare and minimal.
Dorsey Dunn is a Los Angeles-based artist whose work in sound, text and image, in the form of installations, performances, and written and recorded works, is an extended meditation on the perimeters of language, the movements of silence, and the vagaries of comprehension.
Dorsey Dunn regularly exhibits and performs his sound-led installations and music in the US and internationally. He has received invitations to residencies and festivals around the world, most recently to the new media lab TESLA in Berlin; Festival International de Arte Digital, Rosario, Argentina; MusicAcoustica in Beijing; and Is Arti in Vilnius and Kaunas, Lithuania. He has scored and produced music for film, theater, and dance, as well as for a variety of multimedia performances.
Dunn earned a BA from Columbia University (NY) and MFA from Mills College (Oakland, CA), where he studied with Fred Frith.
